Abstract

Energy integration in batch reactors offers significant savings but at the cost of additional operational constraints. In this paper, optimal operation of a batch reactor-feed effluent heat exchanger system is pursued for a production campaign. The coupling between subsequent batches due to energy integration is exploited to predict and thus plan future batches to achieve desired product purity at the end of the production campaign in the presence of disturbances and time-dependent energy prices. The proposed solution leads to better operation compared to a controller with disturbance rejection.
