Abstract: Energy efficiency has become a very important term for evaluating the sustainability of industrial processes. Due to environmental, but also economical reasons, the readiness for optimizing a process is gaining ground. In this study the problem of reduction of energy consumption in bioreactors system of antibiotics production by means of energy integration is considered. An energy integration scheme is proposed, which provides both to the process of cooling a reactor after its sterilization and preparation of Substrate to another reactor. A mathematical model of processes in both reactors is developed. By using this model a method for managing the processes of heat integration is created. The problem is formulated in the terms of MINLP. The efficiency of proposed approach is illustrated on the example of the industry.
Keywords: heat integration, batch reactors, optimal control, quasioptimal control
