Heat exchanger network design for multipurpose batch plants

Synthesis of mass exchange network for batch processes—Part I: Utility targeting

“…Corominas and co-workers (Corominas et al, 1993(Corominas et al, , 1994Grau et al, 1996) published three papers which addressed energy and waste minimisation in multiproduct batch processes. Vaklieva-Bancheva and co-workers (Vaklieva-Bancheva and Ivanov, 1993;Vaklieva-Bancheva et al, 1996) developed a MILP solution for heat exchange network design for multipurpose batch plants in which only direct heat exchange is considered. The same authors reported a case study on heat integration for an antibiotics batch-manufacturing process .…”

A resource-task network approach for optimal short-term/periodic scheduling and heat integration in multipurpose batch plants

“…Vaklieva-Bancheva and Ivanov [4] purposed a MILP formulation for heat exchange network design for multipurpose batch plants where direct heat exchange is considered. In their later work [7], a single level formulation that selects the production campaigns and the design of cost-optimal heat exchanger network simultaneously is addressed. The main limitation of the formulation is that each batch stage must operates in a zero-wait mode with a fixed processing time.…”

Minimization of energy use in multipurpose batch plants using heat storage: an aspect of cleaner production

“…Subsequent to this, other mathematical formulations for heat integration of batch processes have been proposed by Peneva et al [14], Ivanov et al [3], Corominas et al [2], Papageorgiou et al [13], Vaklieva-Bancheva et al [17], and Adonyi et al [1]. Peneva et al [14] and Ivanov et al [3] addressed the problem of designing a minimum total cost heat exchanger network for given pair wise matches of batch vessels.…”

“…The main drawback of all discrete-time formulations is their explosive binary dimension, which requires enormous computational effort [16]. VaklievaBancheva et al [17] improved the work of Ivanov et al [3] by embedding the heat integration framework within an overall scheduling framework. However, the authors only addressed a special case in which the plant is assumed to operate in a zerowait overlapping mode, where each product must pass through a subset of the equipment stages, and production is organized in a series of long campaigns.…”
