Operations optimization is key element of refinery production. The core production activities are operations of process units and product blenders. Operations Optimization of oil processing and product blending was researched in this paper. Using discrete time presentation, a MILP optimization model was built. By formulating operations of processing units and blending units, materials production and storage, energy generation and consumption, co-optimization of materials processing and product blending was realized. Utilizing the proposed model to optimize production operations of a refinery, simulation results show the formulation’s efficiency.
