System Simulation Program for Kraft Pulp Mill Optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent work by Biegler (8) has investigated optimization techniques for sequential, modular flow sheet simulators. This work extends that effort. Successive linear programming coupled with a reduced gradient method gave fast, reliable optimization. A kraft pulping process involving 22 modules and 50 streams was optimized. Compared to the base case, significantly improved operating points were located.

Plantwide Optimization of a Pulp Mill Process
An economic optimization study of a pulp and paper mill is presented. Costs and revenues associated with all unit operations are identified to formulate a suitable objective function. The existing control structure of the pulp mill is analyzed and used to develop an optimization-relevant model through a series of step tests. This model is then used with the objective function and the informatio...
