Abstract

Energy optimization and the optimization of water use have mainly been treated as separate problems in literature. The batch production schedules resulting from each of these formulations do not guarantee that the plant is operated optimally. Presented in this contribution is a formulation that addresses the optimization of both water and energy, while simultaneously optimizing the batch process schedule. The ...
