Introduction to Optimization Strategies
(8 PDH)
Product Description
Running the gamut from determining the most cost-efficient design to squeezing additional productivity out of existing equipment, optimization is a term that can mean many things depending on your point of reference. This one day introduction will cover two of the basic multivariable optimization strategies in use throughout industry.
Major concepts introduced include:
• What is Optimization?
• Context of Optimization – Model-based versus Real System
• Linear versus Non-linear systems
• Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
• Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
• Sequential Simplex Method (SSM)
• Operational Considerations
• Safety Considerations
The methods covered in this seminar can be used effectively with process simulation software, process equipment sizing software, and complex economic models. In addition, these methods can be used to assist in developing sensitivity analysis of existing processes to changes in feed composition.
The course will supply you with a basic toolbox that will help you understand the limitations of existing processes and the potential for improvement.
Recommended for:
• Chemical Engineers
• Mechanical Engineers
• Environmental Engineers
• R&D Professionals
Instructor: Dr. Keith Dackson, P.E.
Schedule: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
