Efficient Production of Specialized Polymers with Highly Flexible Small‐Scale Plants

Abstract Shortened product life cycles and increased demand for specialized products lead to more challenges in efficiently satisfying customer needs. Customer demands are increasingly uncertain terms of type, location, volume. As a result, flexible chemical production plants required. Modular small‐scale can be installed transportation containers and, therefore, offer the flexibility easy relocation, enabling close or supplier. In mathematical optimization model, economic benefit specialty chemicals market polymer is analyzed. Different scenarios created from real data company show that use may significant reduction total costs mainly due raw materials products.
