In this paper a methodology for MSF process optimization taken into account process availability will be presented. The process optimal operative conditions, and the optimal equipment allocation in stand-by units when necessary will be performed, given a process model and cost data. In this paper a

The role of material selection in optimising plant costs has been already subject of several studies [1–3]. These studies focused on the main plant items such as tube bundle, vessels, vessel linings, tubeplates etc. as they are the major components to the plant costs and therefore represent the main
