Abstract:This paper presents two novel solution approaches for addressing large-scale multi-floor process plant layout problems. Based on the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model, the first solution approach employs a multi-directional search strategy while the second improves solution efficiency by reducing model size through an iterative framework. Both approaches determine the spatial arrangement of the plant equipment considering equipment-floor allocation, non-overlapping constraints, tall equipment penet… Show more
