Multiproduct pipelines transport fuels from refineries to distant distribution terminals in
batches. The energy needed to move the fluids through the pipeline is mainly associated …

Pipeline networks represent the major mode of transportation for crude oil and refined fuels.
Recent data suggest that this trend will persist in coming years. A multiproduct pipeline …

Petroleum refined products are mostly sent from oil refineries to distribution depots by trunk
pipelines. Pipeline networks usually involve multiple input and exit terminals, and even dual …

Most contributions on short-term planning of multiproduct pipeline operations deal with
pipelines featuring a single input terminal. In common-carrier pipelines, however, several …

Pipeline networks are the shippers' first choice for carrying large volumes of refined
petroleum products from oil refineries to distant distribution terminals. Optimization …

Continuous formulations for the scheduling of single-source refined-product pipelines with
multiple distribution terminals have already been published. They help the scheduler make …

A multiproduct pipeline is an economical way for transporting several products from a single
source to multiple delivery stations over a long distance. This paper addresses how to …

Pipeline networks are the dominant mode of conveying a wide variety of oil refined products
from refineries to distribution terminals. Pipeline infrastructure usually comprises trunk lines …

Optimizing the distribution of refined oil products using pipeline systems has been posing a
meaningful challenge to the operations research field of exceptional economic importance …

This paper addresses the optimal scheduling of straight pipelines featuring multiple
