Multiobjective optimization of an industrial styrene reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes a multiobjective optimization study for industrial styrene reactors using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA). Several twoand threeobjective functions, namely, production, yield and selectivity of styrene, are considered for adiabatic as well as steam-injected styrene reactors. Pareto optimal (a set of equally good) solutions are obtained due to conflicting effect of either ethyl benzene feed temperature or flow rate. The results provide extensive range of optimal operating conditions, from which a suitable operating point can be selected based on the specific requirements in the plant. # 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملMulti-objective Optimization of Industrial Styrene Production Using a Process Simulator and a Genetic Algorithm
Optimization of the whole plant instead of important individual units is essential for maximizing savings and operational efficiency. Often, there are conflicting objectives for optimizing industrial processes. Many previous studies on multi-objective optimization involved a few critical units (and not complete plants) using models and simulation programs specifically developed for the respecti...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimization of a Styrene Monomer Reactor Using a Neural Network Hybrid Model
The modeling and optimization of a dehydrogenation reactor in the industrial styrene monomer plant has been proposed in this study. Because this reactor consumes large amount of expensive high-pressure steam to produce the styrene monomer (usually more than two third of total energy costs), the minimization of the operating cost is highly desirable to maximize the profit. However, it is not eas...
متن کاملOptimization of Styrene Reactor Design for Two Objectives using a Genetic Algorithm
Optimization of industrial styrene reactor design for two objectives using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) is studied. Both adiabatic and steam-injected reactors are considered. The two objectives are maximization of styrene production and styrene selectivity. The study shows that styrene reactor design can be optimized easily and reliably for two objectives by NSGA. It provi...
متن کاملMultiobjective Dynamic Optimization of an Industrial Nylon 6 Semibatch Reactor Using Genetic Algorithm
The nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) is adapted and used to obtain multiobjective Pareto optimal solutions for three grades of nylon 6 being produced in an industrial semibatch reactor. The total reaction time and the concentration of an undesirable cyclic dimer in the product are taken as two individual objectives for minimization, while simultaneously requiring the attainment of ...
