This paper deals with the synthesis of mass exchanger networks (MENs) for semicontinuous
processes. The starts and endings of available process streams are time-dependent since …

The startings and endings of available process streams are usually time-dependent for a
semiconsecutive (intermittent) process. The objective of this paper is to propose an …

The synthesis of mass exchange networks (MENs) is an important systematic tool for
screening mass-separating agents (MSAs) and satisfying the mass transfer demands while …

The paper deals with the synthesis problem of mass exchange networks (MEN's) for waste
minimization by adopting a mathematical programming approach based on the stage-wise …

Mass exchange network synthesis (MENS) can be used to reduce pollutant emissions into
the environment as well as reduce the need for mass separating agents (MSAs). Designing …

Synthesis of optimal mass exchange network (MEN) for continuous processes based on
Pinch Analysis has been rather well established. In contrast, very little work has been done …

A new simultaneous synthesis approach for mass exchange networks (MENs) is presented.
The technique is adapted from the interval based mixed integer non-linear program (MINLP) …

This paper presents a simultaneous optimization method for the retrofit of existing mass-
exchange networks (MENs). A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is …

We present a new method for the synthesis of mass exchanger networks (MENs) involving
packed columns. Simultaneous synthesis of MENs is typically done through the use of mixed …

A new method for the synthesis of mass exchanger networks for multi-period operations is
presented in this paper. The new method which is called multi-period interval based MINLP …
