Design of Chemical Engineering Systems with Chance Constraints

Resumo

In the design of chemical process under uncertainty in initial information, an important problem is to determine a structure in which the control system will guarantee that all constraints are satisfied despite variations in internal and external factors at the operation stage. A method has been proposed for solving onestage optimization problems with chance constraints in the design of optimal flexible chemical processes. The developed approach makes it possible to avoid multidimensional integration in each of the iterations of problem solving, thus reducing the computational effort. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by model examples.
