Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the development and implementation of a Genetic Algorithm for the preliminary design of a multipurpose chemical batch plant. A two-stage approach combining a Discrete Event Simulation Model (D.E.S. model) and a Genetic Algorithm (G.A.) for optimal design is proposed. The goal is to minimise equipment investment cost for a fixed product slate and production level.
