A superstructure-based framework for bio-separation network synthesis

Journal Article Wu, Wenzhao ; Yenkie, Kirti ; Maravelias, Christos T. - Computers and Chemical Engineering

Modern biotechnologies enable the production of chemicals using engineered microorganisms. However, the cost of downstream recovery and purification steps is high, which means that the feasibility of bio-based chemicals production depends heavily on the synthesis of cost-effective separation networks. To this end, we develop a superstructure-based framework for bio-separation network synthesis. Based on general separation principles and insights obtained from industrial processes for specific products, we first identify four separation stages: cell treatment, product phase isolation, concentration and purification, and refinement. For each stage, we systematically implement a set of connectivity rules to develop stage-superstructures, all of which are thenmore »« less

A superstructure representation, generation, and modeling framework for chemical process synthesis

Journal Article Wu, WenZhao ; Henao, Carlos A. ; Maravelias, Christos T. - AIChE Journal

We present a framework for the efficient representation, generation, and modeling of superstructures for process synthesis. First, we develop a new representation based on three basic elements: units, ports, and conditioning streams. Second, we present four rules based on “minimal” and “feasible” component sets for the generation of simple superstructures containing all feasible embedded processes. Third, in terms of modeling, we develop a modular approach, and formulate models for each basic element. We also present a canonical form of element models using input/output variables and constrained/free variables. The proposed methods provide a coherent framework for superstructure‐based process synthesis, allowing efficientmore »« less
