Overview
Refinery Planning & Scheduling solutions optimize the entire crude-to-product value chain: from crude slate selection and procurement through unit scheduling, blending optimization, and product dispatch. Using linear programming (LP), mixed-integer programming (MILP), and nonlinear models, these solutions ensure maximum margin extraction from every barrel of crude while respecting quality specifications, equipment constraints, and market demands.
Methodology
Comprehensive crude oil characterization and assay database management for accurate yield and quality prediction across all crude blends.
LP/NLP-based refinery-wide planning model optimizing crude selection, unit throughput, product slate, and utility allocation for maximum margin.
Detailed day-by-day scheduling of crude receipts, tank movements, unit operations, blending, and product dispatch with constraint satisfaction.
Automated target push from planning/scheduling to APC and RTO systems for closed-loop plan execution and real-time plan tracking.
