Abstract

Abstract This work proposes an optimization model for planning operations, capacity expansion,and other process retrofitting for a chemical process network considering uncertainties in products prices and demands, and also considering environmental impact. The formulated MILP is a bi-criterion problem such that the first objective function is to maximize the net present value (NPV) and the second objective function is to minimize the total environmental impact forthe chemical process network. Multiple scenarios are incorporated to account for uncertainties in products prices and demands. The bi-criterion problem is solved using the epsilon constraint method. The model is tested with an industrial scale chemical network to illustrate the advantages of using an integrated approach for this planning problem.
