Abstract
The objective of this paper is to study the effects of resource availability on the retrofit design of multipurpose batch chemical plants. A mixed integer nonlinear model will be developed to address retrofit design arising from changes in the product demands and prices and revisions in the product slate (addition of new products, removal of old products, modifications in. the product recipes). Resource constraints on the availability of utilities such as electricity, water and steam, manpower, etc. will be incorporated into the formulation. In addition, the option of resource expansion to accommodate the needs of the new plant will be explored.
A decomposition solution strategy will be presented to allow solution of the proposed MINLP optimization model in reasonable computation time. The effectiveness of the proposed model and solution strategy will be illustrated with a number of test examples.
