Synthese kombinierter Reaktions-Destillation-Prozesse

本计画旨在发展新的最佳化策略，用于组合反应蒸馏过程的综合与最佳化设计。为此，离散决策变量起着重要作用。与以前的工作相比，重点是使用适当简化的过程模型进行全局优化，其中非线性例如通过分段线性函数或多项式近似。反应精馏过程的综合和优化设计需要合适的优化和建模策略。在这个项目中，重点是应用和建模问题，包括选择合适的例子过程，过程建模，模型近似和减少，发展可行的上层结构的动力学以及平衡控制的化学反应，严格的优化，验证的最佳解决方案，通过模拟方法和比较从标准的局部优化方法，使用严格的过程模型得到的结果。

This project aims at the development of new optimization strategies for the synthesis and optimal design of combined reaction distillation processes. For this, discrete decision variables play an important role. In contrast to previous work, focus is on global optimization using suitably simplified process models, where the nonlinearities are approximated for example by piecewise linear functions or polynomials. Synthesis and optimal design of reactive distillation processes requires suitable optimization and modeling strategies. In this project, focus is on application and modeling issues including selection of suitable example processes, process modeling, model approximation and reduction, development of feasible superstructures for kinetically as well as equilibrium controlled chemical reactions, rigorous optimization, verification of the optimal solution by means of simulation methods and comparison with results obtained from standard local optimization methods using rigorous process models.
