Process-oriented oil and chemical companies, like most industries, are becoming increasingly dependent on optimization tools. The main objective of this work is to investigate the viability of using optimization techniques applied to crude supply scheduling models in a real oil refining plant with specific operating rules of the brazilian industry. The system representative operating rule is that up to two charging tanks can feed one crude distillation unit simultaneously. One of the most promising continuous-time formulations in the literature, the multi-operation sequencing (MOS) formulation from Mouret et al. (2011), was selected to model the oil refining plant production system, a multi-stage system consisting in up to five crude parcel...
