• Integrated planning of production, inventory and ship loading at refineries 

      Bengtsson, Jens; Flisberg, Patrik; Rönnqvist, Mikael (Report;2010:26, Research report, 2010-12)
      Refinery operation planning is a complex task since refinery processes and inventories are tightly interconnected. We study deterministic refinery planning when ships are loaded with a blend of components. Any delay in ...
    • Refinery optimization platform : a user’s manual : version 1.0 

      Bredström, David; Flisberg, Patrik; Rud, Linda; Rönnqvist, Mikael (Report, Research report, 2008-11)
      This is a manual for the Refinery Optimization Platform ROP which is a flexible platform for studying refinery production planning. The user can model the overall refining process in a multiperiodic setting, with linear ...
    • Refinery production planning : model and solution method 

      Bredström, David; Flisberg, Patrik; Rönnqvist, Mikael (Report, Research report, 2008-11)
      In this paper we present a general model and solution approach for refinery process planning. The model is nonlinear and has a flexible description to account for different configurations at a refinery. The solution approach ...
    • Simulation of production and sales planning in refinery operations 

      Bredström, David; Flisberg, Patrik; Rönnqvist, Mikael (Report, Research report, 2008-11)
      In this paper we discuss some computational experiments on simulating refinery operations. We compare an integrated approach with recursively solving a production planning and sales planning problem. We test two different ...
