Abstract
Compounding commercial fuels is an important final stage of the entire production process chain in an oil refinery which defines the economic effectiveness of the company’s manufacturing activities. This paper addresses a simulation model for the compounding process for commercial gasolines. The Model is based on discrete linear programming. The target function for the optimization model is the ratio of the difference between the value of the salable product and the costs incurred by manufacturing components and electrical power to the final volume of the salable product, as well as the time it takes to prepare. The optimization model leads to the conclusion about the practicability of the in-flow blending, as well as of the necessity of selecting the right pumping equipment. The optimization model can be applied to primary calculations of economic effectiveness of the various options of organizing the process for the compounding of commercial gasolines.
