S3 − Méthodes d’optimisation en génie des procédés

Optimization is a mathematical discipline that involves finding the best solution among

a set of feasible solutions, according to a given performance criterion. In process engi-

neering, optimization is of crucial importance because it allows:

• Improving the energy efficiency of processes

• Reducing production costs

• Increasing product quality

• Minimizing environmental impact

• Improving facility safety
