23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
The well-known benchmark process for hydrodealkylation of toluene (HDA) to produce benzene is revisited in a multi-objective approach to identify environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions. Some guidelines to develop an eco-design framework for chemical processes, involving multiple criteria to be satisfied simultaneously are proposed, based on simulation, optimization, multiple choice decision making procedures and life cycle assessment. Two studies related to the selection of the primary energy source, either fuel oil or natural gas for the utility production system (UPS) of the HDA process are conducted. In each case, a multi-objective optimization problem involving the total annual cost of the process, and five environmental burdens is carried out.
22nd European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
Computer aided process engineering (CAPE) plays a key design and operations role in the process industries. This conference features presentations by CAPE specialists and addresses strategic planning, supply chain issues and the increasingly important area of sustainability audits. Experts collectively highlight the need for CAPE practitioners to embrace the three components of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic progress and the role of systematic and sophisticated CAPE tools in delivering these goals. Contributions from the international community of researchers and engineers using computing-based methods in process engineering Review of the latest developments in process systems engineering Emphasis on a systems approach in tackling industrial and societal grand challenges
23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering
A copper scrap management model at a country level is proposed, taking into account every collected copper scrap stream, with its associated environmental impact and cost. The method is applied on the treatment of printed wiring boards (PWB) in France. Considering the initial physical properties and composition of this scrap, seven flowsheets are constructed to produce refined copper. Then, depending on the ratio of PWB treated in each processing chain, the production rate, energy consumption, operating cost and environmental impact are evaluated. Three bi-objective optimizations are conducted based on a multi-objective genetic algorithm of NSGA II version: production versus energy consumption, production versus operating cost and production versus environmental impact. Pareto fronts are obtained for each optimization that gives the set of non-dominated solutions.
Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems Using Soft Computing Techniques
This book comprises a selection of papers on new methods for analysis and design of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques from the IFSA 2007 World Congress, held in Cancun, Mexico, June 2007.
Advances in Metaheuristics for Hard Optimization
Many advances have recently been made in metaheuristic methods, from theory to applications. The editors, both leading experts in this field, have assembled a team of researchers to contribute 21 chapters organized into parts on simulated annealing, tabu search, ant colony algorithms, general purpose studies of evolutionary algorithms, applications of evolutionary algorithms, and metaheuristics.
European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering - 13

The objective of ESCAPE-13 is to promote CAPE applications into new businesses and technologies by highlighting the use of computers and information technology tools in five specific areas: process design; process control and dynamics; modeling, simulation and optimization; applications in pulp and paper industry; and applications in biotechnology. Includes 190 papers selected from 391 submitted abstracts. All papers have been reviewed by 33 members of the international scientific community.
European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering - 11
This book contains papers presented at the 11th Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-11), held in Kolding, Denmark, from May 27-30, 2001. The objective of ESCAPE-11 is to highlight the use of computers and information technology tools, that is, the traditional CAPE topics as well as the new CAPE topics of current and future interests.The main theme for ESCAPE-11 is process and tools integration with emphasis on hybrid processing, cleaner and efficient technologies (process integration), computer aided systems for modelling, design, synthesis, control (tools integration) and industrial case studies (application of integrated strategies). The papers are arranged in terms of the following themes: computer aided control/operations, computer aided manufacturing, process and tools integration, and new frontiers in CAPE. A total of 188 papers, consisting of 5 keynote and 183 contributed papers are included in this book.
