The goal is minimising the resource utilisation (live steam and cooling water)while satisfying a set of operational constrains. Hence, problems of optimal load allocationof feeds to plants and cooling-water distribution among them arise. The work baseson plants surrogate models, experimentally obtained, and analyses different formulationalternatives of the optimisation from the practical point of view: centralised vs distributedapproaches. In particular for the distributed approach, we propose a problem decompositionwhich allows us to solve the problem in two iterative ways: 1) as two independentoptimisations or 2) via price-coordination schemes.
