摘要：A method for creating a linear programming (LP) model of an industrial processfacility is disclosed. The model may be used for interactively simulating and/or optimizingthe operation of the facility to facilitate feedstock selection and/or other economic

analyses. According to the inventive method, a first principles reference tool is used tocreate a non-linear reference model of the entire facility. Then, independent inputvariables and key output variables are specified, and initial values for the independentinput variables are specified. Base case values for each key output variable are

determined by running the non-linear reference model using the specified initial valuesfor the independent input variables. Next, partial derivatives for each key output variablewith respect to each independent input variable are determined. A matrix is constructedcontaining the base case values and partial derivatives. The matrix serves as the depictionof the industrial process facility in the final LP, which may also include prices, availabilities,and other external constraints.
