“…In total, we found 16 articles in the analyzed literature that included the possibility of heat integration in production planning. As outlined in [172], the main idea of heat integration lies in exchanging heat energy between hot and cold processes. By using hot process streams to heat up other processes or using cold process streams that cool down other processes, the consumption of external utilities (such as steam and cooling water) can be lowered, resulting in energy savings.…”

Scarcity of resources, structural change during the further development of renewable energy sources, and their corresponding costs, such as increasing resource costs or penalties due to dirty production, lead industrial firms to adapt ecological actions. In this regard, research on energy utilization in production planning has received increased attention in the last years, resulting in a large number of research articles so far. With the paper at hand, we review the literature on energy-oriented production planning. The aim of this study is to derive similar core issues and related properties along energy-oriented models within hierarchical production planning. For this, we carry out a systematic literature review and analyze and synthesize 375 research articles. We classify the underlying literature with a novel two-dimensional classification scheme and identify three key topics and five frequently found characteristics, which are presented in detail throughout this article. Based on these results, we state several potentials for further research.

“…Heat exchanger network synthesis is one of the most extensively studied problems in chemical engineering (Biegler et al, 1997;Escobar and Trierweiler, 2013;Furman and Sahinidis, 2002;Gundersen and Naess, 1988;Smith, 2000). Major heat exchanger network synthesis applications include energy systems producing liquid transportation fuels (Floudas et al, 2012;Niziolek et al, 2015), natural gas refineries (Baliban et al, 2010;Fard et al, 2017), refrigeration systems (Shelton and Grossmann, 1986), batch processes (Castro et al, 2015;Zhao et al, 1998), and water utilization systems (Bagajewicz et al, 2002). Heat exchanger network synthesis minimizes the total investment and operating costs in chemical processes.…”

Designing and analyzing algorithms with provable performance guarantees enables efficient optimization problem solving in different application domains, e.g. communication networks, transportation, economics, and manufacturing. Despite the significant contributions of approximation algorithms in engineering, only limited and isolated works contribute from this perspective in process systems engineering. The current paper discusses three representative, N P-hard problems in process systems engineering: (i) pooling, (ii) process scheduling, and (iii) heat exchanger network synthesis. We survey relevant results and raise major open questions. Further, we present approximation algorithms applications which are relevant to process systems engineering: (i) better mathematical modeling, (ii) problem classification, (iii) designing solution methods, and (iv) dealing with uncertainty. This paper aims to motivate further research at the intersection of approximation algorithms and process systems engineering.

Heat exchanger network synthesis exploits excess heat by integrating process hot and cold streams and improves energy efficiency by reducing utility usage. Determining provably good solutions to the minimum number of matches is a bottleneck of designing a heat recovery network using the sequential method. This subproblem is an N P-hard mixedinteger linear program exhibiting combinatorial explosion in the possible hot and cold stream configurations. We explore this challenging optimization problem from a graph theoretic perspective and correlate it with other special optimization problems such as cost flow network and packing problems. In the case of a single temperature interval, we develop a new optimization formulation without problematic big-M parameters. We develop heuristic methods with performance guarantees using three approaches: (i) relaxation rounding, (ii) water filling, and (iii) greedy packing. Numerical results from a collection of 51 instances substantiate the strength of the methods.This manuscript is dedicated, with deepest respect, to the memory of Professor C. A. Floudas.Professor Floudas showed that, given many provably-strong solutions to the minimum number of matches problem, he could design effective heat recovery networks. So the diverse solutions generated by this manuscript directly improve Professor Floudas' method for automatically generating heat exchanger network configurations. 1988, Furman and Sahinidis 2002, Escobar and Trierweiler 2013). Floudas et al. (2012) review the critical role of heat integration for energy systems producing liquid transportation * fuels (Niziolek et al. 2015). Other important applications of HENS include: refrigeration systems (Shelton and Grossmann 1986), batch semi-continuous processes (Zhao et al. 1998, Castro et al. 2015 and water utilization systems (Bagajewicz et al. 2002).Heat exchanger network design is a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization (MINLP) problem (Yee and Grossmann 1990, Ciric and Floudas 1991, Papalexandri and Pistikopoulos 1994, Hasan et al. 2010. Mistry and Misener (2016) recently showed that expressions incorporating logarithmic mean temperature difference, i.e. the nonlinear nature of heat exchange, may be reformulated to decrease the number of nonconvex nonlinear terms in the optimization problem. But HENS remains a difficult MINLP with many nonconvex nonlinearities. One way to generate good HENS solutions is to use the so-called sequential method (Furman and Sahinidis 2002). The sequential method decomposes the original HENS MINLP into three tasks: (i) minimizing utility cost, (ii) minimizing the number of matches, and (iii) minimizing the investment cost. The method optimizes the three mathematical models sequentially with: (i) a linear program (LP) (Cerda et al. 1983, Papoulias andGrossmann 1983), (ii) a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) (Cerda and Westerberg 1983, Papoulias and Grossmann 1983), and (iii) a nonlinear program (NLP) (Floudas et al. 1986). The sequential method may not return the global solution of the origi...
