In this work, a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) modeling framework for
integrating short-term Crude-oil Scheduling (CS) and mid-term Refinery Planning (RP) has …

We present an integrated methodology for optimal short-term planning of integrated refinery-
petrochemical complexes (IRPCs) and demonstrate it on a full-scale industrial case study …

For high-performance operations in crude oil refinery processing, it is important to properly
determine yields and properties of output streams from distillation units. To address such …

The crude distillation unit (CDU) is one of the most energy-intensive processes of a
petroleum refinery. The composition of crude is subject to change on regular basis. The …

A grey‐box modelling framework was developed for the estimation of cut point temperature
of a crude distillation unit (CDU) under uncertainty in crude composition and process …

Considering the nascent application of advanced technologies in industry within the context
of the new industrial revolution, we propose a methodology for identification and design (ID) …

This work aims to solve the integrated optimization for a complete refinery, which spans from
crude oil operations to the refining processes and blending operations. We define a multi …

The product yields obtained in an industrial vacuum gas oil (VGO) hydroconversion unit
were assessed using PR1ME, ie, an innovative first-principles-based simulation framework …

We propose a discrete-time formulation for optimization of scheduling in crude-oil refineries
considering both the logistics details practiced in industry and the process feed diet and …

Due to quantity times quality nonlinear terms inherent in the oil-refining industry, performing
industrial-sized capital investment planning (CIP) in this field is traditionally done using …
