Resumen:
In this paper a tool for the evaluation of different production alternatives is presented as a non linear programming (NLP) model. The model includes synthesis, design, operation, and scheduling decisions simultaneously. Two different scenarios are modeled in order to evaluate and select which production process is convenient to develop: multipurpose (MP) plant and multi-site single product (MSP) plant complex. The methodology is illustrated with an industrially motivated case study, involving the production of three products: Torula Yeast, Bakery Yeast and Brandy. According to different production conditions, both scenarios are solved, and the analysis and conclusions of which production scheme is more favorable are reported.
