Capacity expansion analysis in a chemical plant using linear programming

Kenneth H. Myers, Reuven R. Levary

Abstract

An analysis of the fuel additive production process of a US mid–western chemical manufacturer is described. Material balance constraints for each potential bottleneck of the manufacturing process are included as part of a linear programming model. Several capacity expansion scenarios are evaluated. The optimal way of modifying and expanding manufacturing capacity to meet forecast demand is determined.
