Abstract

In order to make pulp and paper facility design more effective, simulation and optimization could be used more comprehensively during design. The structure and the operation of the mill should be designed simultaneously, and therefore bi-level multi-objective optimization (BLMOO) is a feasible method. Applying BLMOO in pulp and paper facility design requires changes in business processes of organizations involved. In this research, projects of applying optimizing design in example cases have been followed and a multi-organizational design process is defined. The process is then evaluated by expert interviews.
