Mixed-Integer
Process Optimization
Group


The Mixed Integer Process Optimization Group at Åbo Akademi University aims at solving problems in the fields of process systems engineering. Process synthesis, production optimization and development of numerical methods for solving mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems are central topics.

The research, which is also carried out in co-operation with several other groups in the MINLP-field, provide results that can be applied to solving complex industrial problems. Trim-loss and scheduling problems in the paper converting and metal industry, production scheduling in the pharmaceutical industry and optimization of heat recovery systems for paper machines are examples of practical process synthesis and planning problems.

Please, send your enquiries to the head of the group,
