The project, led by Prof. Lu Jiangang in CSE, is one of the projects in the Major Program approved by NSFC in 2015. It will develop a refinery process experiment platform, verify the integration model of plant-wide optimization, and provide real-time online calibration data of the model. Then it will implement plant-wide online tracking optimization algorithm and verify the validity of the optimization algorithm with the actual production and operation data. Moreover, it will simulate the dynamic operation of actual refinery process, monitor the running status of actual production system and analyze the on-line status. Finally, a software package of refinery plant-wide optimization will be provided and be tested on a large-scale Petrochemical Refinery.
