PNS has a long history, and numerous methods for executing it are available. Its acceleratedly increasing importance can be attributed to the need to respond to the rapid emergence of new technologies and fast changes in the economic environment. It is highly desirable that any corporation be able to ascertain if a new technology is viable for its business as well as to assess if its current technology remains sustainable in the changing environment. Herein, a novel method and software for PNS are proposed for generating, optimizing, and analyzing alternative process designs at the conceptual level. The method is illustrated by synthesizing alternative process designs with different network structures for the production of butanol, ethanol, and acetone from grains. Furthermore, the sustainability of the resultant process designs is analyzed.

The methodology is an outcome of the collaboration between the Office of Research and Development (ORD) of the U.S. EPA and the research group led by the creators of the P-graph framework at the University of Pannonia. The integration of supply chain design and sustainability is the main focus of this collaboration. The P- graph framework provides a mathematically rigorous procedure for synthesizing optimal and alternative suboptimal networks subject to multiple objectives and constraints, which include profitability and sustainability in the proposed methodology. Specifically, to evaluate the sustainability of a given process under construction including its supply chain, sustainability metrics are incorporated into the design procedure. The proposed methodology is demonstrated with the optimal design of a supply chain for providing heat and electric power to an agricultural region with relatively limited land area where agricultural wastes can potentially be recovered as renewable resources. The objective functions for optimization comprise the profit and the ecological footprint. The results of the study indicate that, compared to using electricity from the grid and/or natural gas, using renewable energy resources can yield substantial cost reductions of up to 5%, as well as significant ecological footprint reductions of up to 77%. It may, therefore, be possible to design more sustainable supply chains that are both cost-effective and less environmentally damaging. © 2012 American Chemical Society.}, year = {2013}, eissn = {1520-5045}, pages = {266-274}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:2060145, title = {Planning Evacuation Routes with the P-graph Framework}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2060145}, author = {Garcia Ojeda, Juan Carlos and Bertók, Botond and Friedler, Ferenc}, doi = {10.3303/CET1229256}, journal-iso = {CHEM ENG TR}, journal = {CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS}, volume = {29}, unique-id = {2060145}, issn = {1974-9791}, year = {2012}, eissn = {2283-9216}, pages = {1531-1536}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:2060125, title = {Extending Process-Network Synthesis Algorithms with Time Bounds for Supply Network Design}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2060125}, author = {Kalauz, Károly and Süle, Zoltán and Bertók, Botond and Friedler, Ferenc and Fan, L T}, doi = {10.3303/CET1229044}, journal-iso = {CHEM ENG TR}, journal = {CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS}, volume = {29}, unique-id = {2060125}, issn = {1974-9791}, year = {2012}, eissn = {2283-9216}, pages = {259-264}, orcid-numbers = {Kalauz, Károly/0009-0007-5888-5541; Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:1690541, title = {Solving vehicle assignment problems by process-network synthesis to minimize cost and environmental impact of transportation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1690541}, author = {Barany, M and Bertók, Botond and Kovács, Zoltán and Friedler, Ferenc and Fan, L T}, doi = {10.1007/s10098-011-0348-2}, journal-iso = {CLEAN TECHNOL ENVIRON POLICY}, journal = {CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {1690541}, issn = {1618-954X}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1618-9558}, pages = {637-642}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @inproceedings{MTMT:1976935, title = {Superstructure Approach to Batch Process Scheduling by S-graph Representation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1976935}, author = {Bertók, Botond and Adonyi, Róbert and Friedler, Ferenc and Fan, L T}, booktitle = {ESCAPE 21. 21st European symposium on computer-aided process engineering.

Available methods for determining the optimal schedule are primarily based on either MILP/MINLP formulation in conjunction with mathematical programming (Floudas and Lin, 2004; Vaklieva-Bancheva and Kirilova, 2010) or graph representation in conjunction with combinatorial algorithms (Sanmarti et al., 2002).The current work comprises three major contributions. First, an algorithm has been crafted to generate a superstructure for a scheduling problem. The problem is defined in the form of an S-graph representing the recipe. The superstructure contains exclusively every step potentially performed by any of the functional or operating facilities or equipment units capable of completing at least one task to be scheduled. These steps involve executions of tasks and changeovers from one task to another. Second, an MILP formulation is elaborated on the basis of the superstructure, which guarantees the optimal solution of the scheduling problem. Third, a relaxation of the MILP model is incorporated into the S-graph algorithms to support the selection of subproblems and decision variables in the branch- and-bound procedure. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {Scheduling; MILP; Superstructure; S-graph}, year = {2011}, pages = {1105-1109}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:2175756, title = {Regional Optimizer (RegiOpt) - Sustainable energy technology network solutions for regions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2175756}, author = {Kettl, KH and Niemetz, N and Sandor, N and Eder, M and Heckl, István and Narodoslawsky, M}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-444-54298-4.50170-7}, journal-iso = {COMPAIDED CHEMI ENG}, journal = {COMPUTER-AIDED CHEMICAL ENGINEERING}, volume = {29}, unique-id = {2175756}, issn = {1570-7946}, abstract = {Developing energy strategies for the future is an important strategic task for regions and municipalities. Renewable based technologies and decentralized energy supply based on regional resources have the potential to locally and regionally increase added value, provide new jobs, decrease the dependency on limited fossil resources as well as on external energy providers and may have a positive impact on ecological stability. Regional Optimizer (RegiOpt) software tool is based on the concept of Process Network Synthesis (PNS) (Friedler et. al, 1995 and Halasz et. al, 2005) and of the Sustainable Process Index (SPI) (Kotscheck et. al., 1996 and Sandholzer et. al., 2005). Both methodologies are combined in RegiOpt to enable the user to create economically optimal sustainable energy technology networks and at the same time evaluate them with respect to environmental sustainability. Inputs to the software are (renewable) resources (e.g. amount of crops available for energetic use, biowaste, waste heat, etc.) and regional energy demand profiles. Both resource provision and energy demand can be provided in time dependent form. On top of that the user may supply contextual information like costs and prices of particular resources and services. Result of the calculation with RegiOpt is the economically optimized technology network that fulfils the energy needs defined by the user and renders the highest regional added value. RegiOpt also provides the ecological footprint according to the SPI methodology. The user is able to calculate different scenarios based on different input data. RegiOpt software tool will be provided in two versions. Web based "Conceptual Planner" as a simple analysis for regional stakeholders and an "Advanced Designer" for a more detailed technology network scenario generation meant for expert use. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {HEAT; REGIONS; PNS; Electricity; Process network synthesis; Ecological footprint; Sustainable Process Index; SPI; Energy production}, year = {2011}, pages = {1959-1963} } @article{MTMT:1695506, title = {Optimal Design of Supply Chains by P-garph Framework under Uncertainties}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1695506}, author = {Süle, Zoltán and Bertók, Botond and Friedler, Ferenc and L T, Fan}, doi = {10.3303/CET1125076}, journal-iso = {CHEM ENG TR}, journal = {CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS}, volume = {25}, unique-id = {1695506}, issn = {1974-9791}, year = {2011}, eissn = {2283-9216}, pages = {453-458}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:1230387, title = {Design of Optimal and Near-Optimal Enterprise-Wide Supply Networks for Multiple Products in the Process Industry}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1230387}, author = {Fan, LT and Kim, Y and Yun, C and Park, SB and Park, S and Bertók, Botond and Friedler, Ferenc}, doi = {10.1021/ie800447g}, journal-iso = {IND ENG CHEM RES}, journal = {INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH}, volume = {48}, unique-id = {1230387}, issn = {0888-5885}, year = {2009}, eissn = {1520-5045}, pages = {2003-2008}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:1268044, title = {Synthesis of Optimal Workflow Structure}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1268044}, author = {Tick, József and Kovács, Zoltán and Friedler, Ferenc}, journal-iso = {J UNIVERS COMPUT SCI (J USC)}, journal = {JOURNAL OF UNIVERSAL COMPUTER SCIENCE}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {1268044}, issn = {0948-695X}, abstract = {Optimal synthesis of workflow structures, the formerly undefined problem, has been introduced.
