Industrial Modeling Frameworks
(iMF’s)
• Process industry business problems are
complex hence an iMF provides a pre-project
or pre-solution advantage (head-start).
• An iMF embeds intellectual-property and
know-how related to the process’s flowsheet
modeling as well as its problem-solving
methodology.
iMPress
• iMPress stands for “Industrial Modeling &
PRE-Solving System” and is our proprietary
platform for discrete and nonlinear modeling.
• iMPress can “interface”, “interact”, “model”
and “solve” any production-chain, supply-
chain, demand-chain and/or value-chain
optimization problem.

Cogenerartion Scheduling
Application Types
• Off-Line Environments:
– Usually « dynamic » optimization with discrete
(logic) & linear variables using Mixed Integer
Linear Programming not including feedback
(feedforward only).
• On-Line Environments:
– Usually « steady-state » optimization with
continuous & nonlinear variables using NLP
including feedback (and feedforward).
– Usually includes steady-state detection, data
reconciliation and regression (« moving horizon
estimation ») with diagnostics for monitoring.
Off-Line Optimization
• Sometimes called « load shedding, shifting &
scheduling ».
– Determines steam and power production subject to
supply availability and demand requirements.
– Respects transition (sequence-dependent)
management of producing units such as boilers and
turbogenerators i.e., understands resting (standby),
ramping (startup/shutdown) and running (setup)
which IAL calls « Phasing ».
– Similar to a « product wheel » found in specialty batch
& fast moving consumer goods industries.
Off-Line Optimization –
« Phasing »
• « Phasing » forces a predictable operational
sequence or order for selected units.
Off-Line Optimization –
« Phasing »
• REST = min. 3-d, RAMPUP = 1-d, RUN’s =
min. 3 - max. 10-d, RAMPDOWN = 1-d, Past-
Horizon = 2-d & Future-Horizon = 60-d.
On-Line Optimization
• Typically assumes discrete/logic variables are
fixed – IAL calls this « phenomenological
decomposition ».
• If plant is at « steady-state* » then optimize
process or operating conditions using NLP
(IPOPT, KNITRO, XPRESS-SLP, IAL-
SLPQPE).
• Apply nonlinear data reconciliation &
parameter estimation to provide gross-
error/outlier detection & calibrate model.
* Kelly & Hedengren, « A steady-state detection algorithm to detect non-stationary drifts in processes », Journal of Process Control,
23, 2013.
On-Line Optimization
• An important aspect is to callout/callback to
physical/thermodynamic properties such as
enthalpies.
– STEAM67.DLL is « wrapped » in
STEAM67_H.DLL to compute saturated enthalpy
and its first-order derivatives using its saturated
temperature.

ODME-iMPress-CPLEX
System Architecture
ODME-iMPress-CPLEX
System Architecture
• A domain-specific data model was created in
ODME using the usual master-data and
transactional-data partitions.
• A mapping between iMPress’ data model and
ODME’s data model was established.
• Java code was written to export iMPress’ IML
file (Industrial Modeling Language).
• SWIG Java was used to create a Java Native
Inerface (JNI) to iMPress.
ODME-IMPRESS-CPLEX
System Architecture
• Java code was written to call iMPress-CPLEX
using its API’s.
• Java code was written to access the solution(s)
from iMPress-CPLEX using its API’s and to
populate the ODME solution-data partition.
