Biosurfactant Production and Biodesulphurization: Integrated Approach for Fuel Processing

Integrated planning for blood platelet production: a robust optimization approach

Perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. This paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. Whole blood-derived production methods for...

Integrated systems for biosurfactant synthesis

Biosurfactants are difficult to produce in an economic manner for several reasons: 1. Overproducing strains of bacteria are rare and those found generally display a very low productivity. In addition complex media need to be applied. 2. The regulation of biosurfactant synthesis is hardly understood, seemingly it represents a "secondary metabolite" regulation. Among others 02-limitation has been...

A new approach in graph- based integrated production and distribution scheduling for perishable products

This study is concerned with how the quality of perishable products can be improved by shortening the time interval between production and distribution. As special types of food such as dairy products decay fast, the integration of production and distribution scheduling (IPDS) is investigated. An integrated scheduling of both processes improves the performance and costs because the separated sc...
