Iran is very rich in oil and gas, which why the government investing billions of dollars every year gas facilities to improve country. The refinery construction industry are complex involves multidisciplinary contributors. In this environment, many changes claims appear. Changes commonly considered negative events, thus, should be kept away from project. With considering concept, paper presents...

In this work we present an Outer-Approximation algorithm to obtain the global optimum of a nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model for the scheduling of crude oil movement at the front-end of a petroleum refinery. The model relies on a continuous time representation making use of transfer events. The proposed technique focuses on effectively solving a Mixed Integer Linear Pr...

Wireless telemetry systems are now becoming a relevant topic in the field of critical process control in industrial plants and oil/gas refineries. In contrast to wire line communication, wireless links are inherently unreliable. This unreliability depends critically on the propagation environment of the radio-links as the layout of scattering objects (pipes and metallic structures) influences t...
