Profit optimization for chemical process plant based on a probabilistic approach by incorporating material flow uncertainties

This paper reports how the economic performance of a chemical process plant is affected by material flow uncertainties from the plant inlet and outlet. Two chance-constrained optimization models were proposed. The models were tested using case studies of an existing gas processing plant. Profit opti...
