Industrial processes are usually operated in a highly dynamic environment, e.g. with time-varying market prizes, customer demand, technological development or up- and downstream processes. Due to these disturbances, the operational strategies comprising objectives and constraints are regularly adjusted to reflect a change in the environment in order to achieve or maintain optimal process performance. The related operational objectives need not only be of an economical nature, but can also include flexibility, risk or ecological objectives. In this paper, a novel methodology is presented for the modeling and dynamic predictive scheduling of operational strategies for continuous processes. Optimal control actions are computed on a moving horizon employing discrete-continuous modeling and mixed-logic dynamic optimization as introduced by Oldenburg et al. (2003). The approach is successfully demonstrated considering the operation of a wastewater treatment plant. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a modeling and numerical solution method for an integrated grade transition and production scheduling problem for a continuous polymerization reactor. The optimal sequence of production stages and the transitions between them is supposed to be determined for producing a given number of polymer grades at certain amounts and quality specifications in the most economical way. The production schedule has to satisfy due dates for specific orders. This operational problem is cast into a mixed-integer dynamicoptimization problem. Disjunctions and logical constraints are combined with a validated differential-algebraic model describing the polymer process during the production of a specific grade as well as along a transition between two different grades. The modeling and solution approach proposed by Oldenburg et al. [Oldenburg, J., Marquardt, W., Heinz D., & Leineweber, D. B. (2003)] is tailored to this problem class to provide an efficient solution technique. An industrial example process serves as an example to illustrate the modeling and solution techniques suggested.
