A bilinear approach to the pooling problem

Abstract

The report presents an algorithm for the pooling problem in refinery optimization based on bilinear programming approach. The pooling problem occurs frequently in process optimization problems, especially refinery planning models. The problem is defined by formulating an aggregate mathematical model of a refinery, comment on solution methods for pooling problems that have been presented in the literature, and a new method based on convex approximation of the bilinear terms. 13 refs., 4 figs., 4 tabs.
