Olefins production plants are large-scale plants, in most of which gaseous and liquid
hydrocarbons are cracked to produce light olefins. The complex and large-scale nature of …

The manuscript considers the problem of data-driven modeling of an ethylene splitter (from
an industrial plant). The process presently operates with end composition controllers that …

Thermal cracking of hydrocarbons in the presence of steam is the most important process for
the production of ethylene and propylene, which are the raw materials for many …

In this work, we propose a new optimization model for gas processing plant under uncertain
feed flow rate and composition. Deterministic model has initially being formulated; …

Ethylene and propylene separation from the mixture produced by steam cracking of
saturated hydrocarbons is a highly energy-intensive process. In this, plant operators face …

Dynamic operation optimization has been utilized to realize optimal control problem for
converter. The optimal control indicator is determined via current state of converter smelting …

It is desirable to know the variations around the normal feed conditions that a real plant can
handle ensuring feasible operation and to detect the plant bottlenecks for these …

In thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the
reactor to minimize the operation cost. In this article a simulator is developed by the use of a …

Fermenting various sugars derived from lignocellulosic biomass promises to be attractive for
producing ethanol, an important alternative fuel. Diversity of lignocellulosic biomass sources …

In modern coal processing industries, methanol-to-olefins (MTO) is an important equipment.
Its olefin separation process is facing with problems such as the change of raw materials, the …
