Abstract

This paper presents a framework for the design and optimization of multi-product batch processes under uncertainty with environmental considerations. The uncertainties and environmental impacts are discussed. The profit and environmental impacts are considered as bi-objectives for batch plant design. The problem, thus, is formulated as a multi-objective stochastic programming problem. It can be converted into a single-objective two-stage stochastic linear programming problem using the weighted aggregation method. To solve the two-stage stochastic programming, we introduce both Monte Carlo sampling for the entire domain of the distribution function and the feasibility cut method based on dual theory in Benders’ decomposition. The detailed algorithm for problem-solving is presented. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed framework.
