“…The employed solution strategy is based on the targeted reverse design approach and employs thermodynamic-process insights, for example, the attainable region 16 and the driving force concept 17 , to decompose the integrated design-control problem into four sequential hierarchical sub-problems 10 . Based on the solution of the decomposed set of hierarchical sub-problems, large number of infeasible solutions within the search space are identified and eliminated.…”

Systematic integrated process design and control of binary element reactive distillation processes

In this work, integrated process design and control of reactive distillation processes is considered through a computer-aided framework. First, a set of simple design methods for reactive distillation column that are similar in concept to non-reactive distillation design methods are extended to designcontrol of reactive distillation columns. These methods are based on the element concept where the reacting system of compounds is represented as elements. When only two elements are needed to represent the reacting system of more than two compounds, a binary element system is identified. It is shown that the same design-control principles that apply to a non-reacting binary system of compounds are also valid for a reactive binary system of elements for distillation columns. Application of this framework shows that designing the reactive distillation process at the maximum driving force results in a feasible and reliable design of the process as well as the controller structure.

“…Earlier network models have been reviewed in the monograph by Wen and Fan (1975). Rather than using a network to represent a single reactor, the synthesis of a network of multiple physically distinct reactors for improving yield and selectivity has also been extensively investigated Floudas, 1990, 1994;Hildebrandt and Glasser, 1990;Hildebrandt and Biegler, 1994). Figure 6 shows a few example networks for cases where the solid phase is either absent or remains within the reactor.…”

“…Attainable region is the convex hull of concentrations for a given feed and reaction scheme. The geometrical concepts that allow the derivation of the attainable region, and further extensions to higher dimensions where developed mainly by Glasser, Hildebrandt, and Feinberg [127][128][129][130]. There are two main downsides of the "attainable region" technique.…”

This work presents a review of the applications of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) in process systems engineering (PSE). A review on the main deterministic MINLP solution methods is presented, including an overview of the main MINLP solvers. Generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) is an alternative higher-level representation of MINLP problems. This work reviews some methods for solving GDP models, and techniques for improving MINLP methods through GDP. The paper also provides a high-level review of the applications of MINLP in PSE, particularly in process synthesis, planning and scheduling, process control and molecular computing.
