Equation-based chemical process optimization on advanced architecture computers

The equation-based approach shows great promise as an optimization tool, but its use has been hindered by implementation difficulties. These include problems in providing good automatic initial guesses and excessive computational time on large problems. A prototype chemical process optimization package, SEQUEL-III, is used to consider these issues.
