Synthesis of Heat Integrated Complex Distillation Systems via Stochastic Optimization  Approaches

Abstract

Abstract: This paper addresses the application of stochastic optimization approaches to the synthesis
of heatintegrated complex distillation system, which is characterized by large-scale
combinatorial feature. Conventionaland complex columns, thermally coupled (linked) side
strippers and side rectifiers as well as heat integration betweenthe different columns are
simultaneously considered. The problem is formulated as an MINLP (mixed-integernonlinear
programming) problem. A simulated annealing algorithm is proposed to deal with the MINLP
problemand a shortcut method is applied to evaluate all required design parameters as well
as the total cost function. Twoillustrating examples are presented.

Key words: distillation system synthesis, complex column, heat integration, encoding, simulated annealing
