Integrated Proactive and Reactive Scheduling for Refinery Front-End Crude Movement with Consideration of Unit Maintenance

Abstract: A typical front-end crude supply process of refineries encompasses many units, such as vessels, port-side storage tanks, long-distance pipeline, refinery-side charging tanks, and crude distillation units. In reality, the performance of these units will inevitably decay; thus, unit maintenance plans should be well integrated with normal crude movement schedules. In this paper, a novel methodology has been proposed to dynamically and simultaneously determine the optimal schedule of crude movement and unit mainte… Show more

“…In these two terms, T v s and T v f denote the starting and ending times of the crude unloading operation for vessel v, respectively, and T v arr represents the arrival time of vessel v. The third term in eq 33 sums up all the costs for setting up crude transfer operations during the scheduling time horizon, which include the cost for transferring crudes from the vessels to the storage tanks, from the storage tanks to the charging tanks, and from the charging tanks to the CDUs. The last term of eq 33 represents the total inventory cost for all STs and CTs throughout the scheduling time horizon, which is referenced from Qu et al 17 . Note that the maintenance cost is not included in the objective function of eq 33 because it does not belong to routine operating costs.…”

“…It is an M-MINLP model. In which eqs 1 through 25 plus eq 33 are based on the previous study, 17 while eqs 26 through 32 and eq 34 are newly developed. To solve this multiobjective problem, the solving strategy employed in this study is to convert the multiobjective problem to a single-objective problem by transforming the objective function in eq 34 into the riskallowance constraint formulated in eq 35, where the TR value will be constrained by an upper bound, Risk u .…”

“…Jahan et al 19 develop an efficient approach to process GTS (Group Trip Scheduling) queries and variants for the Euclidean space and road networks and propose a dynamic programming technique to eliminate the trip combinations that cannot be part of the optimal query answer. Qu et al 20 propose a novel methodology that dynamically and simultaneously determine the optimal schedule of crude movement and unit maintenance operations, and it can also determine the optimal unit maintenance schedule, which will identify the best opportunities of not only isolating units from process system to perform maintenance but also resuming their services after maintenance. Kisialiou et al 21 present a novel methodology for reliable supply vessel planning and scheduling, enabling planners to construct delivery schedules having a low expected total cost.…”
