Rigorous formulation for the scheduling of reversible-flow multiproduct pipelines
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-02)
Pipelines play a major role in the petroleum industry by providing a safe, reliable and economical trans-portation mode over land. Frequently, they connect a pair of refineries or harbors with the purpose ofsharing oil ...
Discrete-event Simulation Guides Pipeline Logistics
(PennWell Corporation, 2011-08)
A discrete-event simulation technique, combined with optimization tools, permits easy management of real-world pipeline operations with low computational effort. Modeling to develop the technique used a non-traditional ...
Efficient Tool for the Scheduling of Multiproduct Pipelines and Terminal Operations
(American Chemical Society, 2008-12)
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a transmission pipeline carrying several petroleum products from a single oil refinery to a unique distribution center over a monthly horizon. The proposed approach is based ...
Improving the mathematical formulation for the detailed scheduling of refined products pipelines by accounting for flow rate dependent pumping costs
(Nara Medianeira Stefano, 2013-10)
This work presents a continuous-time mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation to find the best detailed schedule for single-source multi-product pipelines, minimizing the total operating costs. By knowing the ...
Dynamic Scheduling of Multiproduct Pipelines with Multiple Delivery Due Dates
(Elsevier, 2008-12)
Scheduling product batches in pipelines is a very complex task with many constraints to be considered. Several papers have been published on the subject during the last decade. Most of them are based on large-size MILP ...
Operational Scheduling of Refined Products Pipeline Networks with Simultaneous Batch Injections
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-03-16)
Petroleum refined products are mostly sent from oil refineries to distribution depots by trunk pipelines. Pipeline networks usually involve multiple input and exit terminals, and even dual-purpose stations. Several pumping ...
Optimization model for the detailed scheduling of multi-source pipelines
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
Pipeline networks are the shippers? first choice for carrying large volumes of refined petroleum products from oil refineries to distant distribution terminals. Optimization approaches for solving the pipeline scheduling ...
New Scheduling Rule Improves Pipeline Efficiency
(PennWell Corporation, 2011-10)
A new rule prioritizing product delivery to the eligible terminal closest to the one being currently served reduces total accumulated idle volume by about 40% and decreases the number of cut operations. Different priority ...
