Abstract
We consider multiobjective optimization problems arising from superstructure formulation of Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) processes. SMBs are widely used in many industrial separations of chemical products and they are challenging from the optimization point of view. We employ efficient interactive multiobjec-tive optimization which enables considering several conflicting objectives simultaneously without unnecessary simplifications as have been done in previous studies. The interactive IND-NIMBUS software combined with the IPOPT optimizer is used to solve multiobjective SMB design problems. The promising results of solving a superstructure SMB optimization problem with four objectives demonstrate the usefulness of the approach.
