چکیده
An optimal design strategy for membrane networks separating multicomponent gas mixtures based on an approximate permeator model and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) is proposed. A permeator system superstructure is used to embed a very large number of possible network configurations and allows the permeator feed-side pressure to be fixed or a design variable. A MINLP design model is developed to minimize the total annual process cost by simultaneous optimization of the permeator configuration and operating conditions. Case studies for the separation of acid gases (CO2 and H2S) from crude natural gas mixtures with spiral-wound permeators are presented. Permeator configurations are derived for different number of separation stages for both continuous and discrete membrane areas. The method is sufficiently robust to handle product compositions that vary five orders of magnitude. The proposed approach provides an efficient methodology for preliminary screening of multi-stage membrane separation systems for multicomponent gas mixtures. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

In several process plants the precision of parameter estimates is low because the installed set of instruments do not satisfy the new information requirements for different purposes, from simple data reconciliation to on-line optimization. This paper presents models to perform the upgrading of instrumentation at minimum cost to achieve maximum precision of selected parameters. Alternative equiv...

In this paper, an extension of previous work performed for a system of two plants is presented. For a set of n plants, heat transfer leading effectively to energy savings occurs at temperature levels between the pinch points of supplying and receiving plants. In some cases, additional heat transfer in other regions is required to attain maximum savings. A systematic procedure, based on LP and M...
