Abstract
In chemical processing units, optimization is the method that seeks to solve the problem of minimizing or maximizing an objective function that relates the variable to optimize with the design and operating variables. The criteria for analysis of the economic objective function involve fulfilling a process criteria restrictions, conditions, design equations, and respecting the limits of the variables (Seider and Warren 2003). Most problems in chemical engineering processes have many solutions, in some cases becoming endless. The optimization is related to the selection of an option that is best in a variety of efficient options but being the only one that comes closest to an economic optimum performance and operation.
