Abstract
A systematic approach is presented for the assessment of operability i n design of chemical plants. This approach provides a new quantitative measure of the process operability, and allows the designer to system atically select the best design. An integrated strategy based on dynam ic MINLP formulation is introduced in order to incorporate flexibility and controllability aspects into the design procedure. A mini integra ted plant is considered as an example to illustrate the application of the proposed methodology.
