METHOD FOR AUTOMATED OILS MIXING MANAGEMENT, SAID OILS BEING MANUFACTURED FROM OIL PRODUCT, BY MEANS OF FORMING MIXING TIMETABLES IN REAL TIME Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: operative manufacture planning.

SUBSTANCE: method is based on use of computer system, including an optimizer, tables for selection of goal function, block for determination of optimization method. Database for recording inputted information and received results is used as well as block for importing data concerning initial state of reservoir fleet and mixing task. Graphic user interface is used to indicate and alter current data during creation of timetable, parameters for optimizer adjustment and indication of textual and graphical system reports. Block for controlling trustworthiness of initial data for forming the best timetable, block for generation of optimization task matrix and block for interpretation of results of optimization task solution are used. Data concerning amount of components, admixtures and product oils in all mixing reservoirs at the moment of beginning of timetable creation, concerning planned tasks for readiness of product oils at certain time moment in accordance to shipment graph, concerning mixing receipts and certification time for each oil, concerning mixing time and readjustment of mixing reservoir during transfer from one oil type to another, concerning speed of feeding of each component and admixture from appropriate reservoirs, concerning configuration of area of mixing and amount of mixing reservoirs are all transferred to computer system from data import block. After check of physical possibility, linear programming matrix is generated for use by optimizer, which automatically selects an optimization method for determination of the best timetable, which is interpreted in form of series of mixing of given product oils, beginning and ending time for each mixing, transfer of each component and admixture from appropriate reservoirs for mixing of each oil, beginning and ending time for feeding of prepared oil directly after mixing and certification into appropriate product reservoir, time of switching feeding of component after filling of one component reservoir to another by results interpretation block.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
