Abstract

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have shown great potential and ability to solve complex problems of optimization in diverse industrial fields, including chemical engineering process. In this paper, the main objective is to develop and implement a GA code in an industrial reactor of Cyclic Alcohol (CA) production for the optimization of operational parameters. The intention is to show that this technique is suitable for the maximization of Cyclic Alcohol production, obtaining good results with operational improvements (reduction of catalyst, reduction of the temperature of the process). The results show that the best performance of the process was achieved with the application of GAs. The developed procedure works very well in all the considered conditions which cover the most usual operating range for the considered process.
