Abstract:This paper deals with the product blending problem originating from the production system of a large typical oil refinery. A deterministic mixed integer programming model is proposed. The objective is to make an effective production-inventory plan for product blending unit (PBU) in order to meet the demand of product oil with no backlogging allowed and minimize the total costs, that is, the sum of purchasing, production, inventory and setup costs. The constraints related to material balance, different capacities and different production schemes are considered. A numerical example is subsequently provided to illustrate the broad applicability of the proposed model.
