In this work we consider the optimal investment and operational planning of gas field
developments under uncertainty in gas reserves. The resolution of uncertainty in gas …

Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas
that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the future of …

An optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex
distillation sequences, based on a modified genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with a …

This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision
variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer …

This paper addresses the synthesis and optimal design of liquid–liquid extraction processes
using stochastic optimization algorithms. The main objective is to comparatively study …

A new method for optimising process networks is presented in this paper. The method uses
economic analysis of existing systems based on the new value analysis method (Ph. D …

The use of recombinant proteins has increased greatly in recent years, as well as the
techniques used for their purification. The selection of an efficient process to purify proteins …

The objectives of this paper are to give a brief overview of the code LogMIP and to report
numerical experience on a set of test problems. LOGMIP is currently the only code for …

The synthesis of complex distillation columns has remained a major challenge since the
pioneering work by Sargent and Gaminibanadara that was reported in 1976. In this paper …

Microchip structures represent an attractive platform for microscale chemical processing of
fluidic systems. However, standardized design methods for these devices have not yet been …
