An MILP approach for detailed scheduling of oil depots along a multi-product pipeline

Abstract Oil depots along products pipelines are important components of the pipeline transportation system and down-stream markets. The operating costs of oil depots account for a large proportion of the total system’s operating costs. Meanwhile, oil depots and pipelines form an entire system, and...
