Efficient Tool for the Scheduling of Multiproduct Pipelines and Terminal Operations

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a transmission pipeline carrying several petroleum products from a single oil refinery to a unique distribution center over a monthly horizon. The proposed approach is based on a very efficient MILP continuous-time formulation that is capable of determi...
