A mixed integer nonlinear programming approach for petroleum refinery topology optimisation

•Proposed strategy to devise configuration then optimize conversion and temperature.•Implemented on case study of a real-world refinery in Kuwait.•Obtained resulting configuration that agrees with industrial practice. This work presents a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)-based superstruct...
