Optimal loading the systems for resource consumption in case of multiproduct and multipurpose batch chemical plants
(theoretical aspects and software realization)
The offered software package is created on the base of original author’s methods published in international journals. Its present version uses MATLAB 6.5 and is adopted for WINDOWS-XP.
1
The software package ECAM solves two main problems:
1.Control problem - for a group of compatible batch products
2.Simulation problem - for such of product group aiming to determine load parameters of resources supply systems.
ECAM could be used for investigation of different manufacturing states and as well as for evaluation the affect of energy integration processes on the resources supply systems. Thus, the technology changes could be properly assessed that provides opportunities for creation of proper production schedules ensuring optimal load of resources supply systems.

Main principles during the build up of ECAM
• The menus principle is used • The principle of choices the data is used so
that the human mistakes be reduced. • Logical control about correctness the data• The results are visualized• All functions consist of subsidiary information
ECAM working under Windows’XP area• “Matlab 6.50” is used to build up the product
