Hinging Hyperplanes Crude Oil Mixing Model for Production Planning Optimization
Abstract
Refinery feed, usually a mixture of several crude oils, is separated via a crude distillation unit (CDU). Crude true boiling point (TBP) distillation curve determines the amount of products which can be obtained via CDU separation. The TBP curve of the mixed crude feed is calculated by blending pseudocomponents from each individual crude; the blending calculation introduces a lot of nonlinear terms and makes it difficult to optimize the crude …
