5 | | -The chemical plant performed the hydro-dealkylation of toluene into benzene and methane. The flowsheet model was used to make decisions on choosing between alternative process units at various stages of the process. The resulting model is GDP model. The disjunctions in the model include: |
6 | | - 1. Inlet purify selection at feed |
7 | | - 2. Reactor operation mode selection (adiabatic / isothermal) |

15 | | -The objective of the model is to maximize the profit by determining the optimal process configuration and operating conditions. The decision variables include the number of trays in the absorber and distillation column, the reflux ratio, the pressure in the distillation column, the temperature and pressure in the flash drums, the heating requirement in the furnace, the electricity requirement in the compressor, the heat exchange in the coolers and heaters, the surface area in the membrane separators, the temperature and pressure in the mixers, the temperature and pressure in the reactors, and the volume and rate constant in the reactors. |
