Abstract
A deterministic model for multipurpose, multiperiod batch plants was presented in a linearized form to predict the future design according to the change of demand by using a modified Benders’ Decomposition. The OSL code offered by the IBM corporation as optimizer was employed for solving several example problems. The decomposition method was successful, showing remarkable reduction in the computing times as compared with those of the direct solution method. Also the heuristic used as a solution approach for the multiperiod model provided an efficient methodology to the block-structured problem by dividing the large overall problem into the manageable single period blocks.
