Application of Multi-Objective Optimization in the Design of SMB in Chemical Process Industry

چکیده
A new optimization and design strategy, multi-objective optimization, is applied to improve the performance of Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) and its modification, the Varicol systems with or without reactions. The capabilities of the new approach are illustrated considering three different applications of SMB (and Varicol process), namely, chiral drug separation, production of high concentrated fructose syrup and synthesis of methyl acetate ester. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) is used in obtaining Pareto optimal solutions. It was found that significant improvement is possible for both SMB and Varicol process.

The main focus of this study is improvement of the steam-methane reforming (SMR) process by in-situ CO2 removal to produce high hydrogen content synthesis gas. Sorption-enhanced (SE) concept is applied to improve process performance. In the proposed structure, the solid phase CO2 adsorbents and pre-reformed gas stream are introduced to a gas-flowing solids-fixed bed reactor (GFSFBR). One dimens...

In this article, the performance of a reactive Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) and its modification, the more flexible Varicol process, is improved for the synthesis of methyl acetate (MeOAc) ester by multi-objective optimization using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA). The Varicol process is based on a non-synchronous shift of the inlet and outlet ports instead of the synchronous one u...
