SYNTHESIS OF MASS EXCHANGER NETWORKS FOR WASTE MINIMIZATION - AN MINLP APPROACH Conference Paper

abstract

• A mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is proposed for the synthesis of mass exchanger networks for the purification of process streams, via the use of mass separating agents (MSA). Mass integration is driven from the minimization of a total annualized cost. The model is based on a hyperstructure representation of all the alternatives for the available rich and lean streams (splitting, recycling, regeneration). Both operating cost and capital cost are optimized simultaneously. The solution of the resulting MINLP model provides a mass exchanger network which satisfies the specifications on the target compositions (environmental or process requirements) at the minimum total annualized cost.
