Abstract

By casting the problem of designing an industrial sieve tray into the form of a constrained optimisation study, it is possible to arrive at an optimal tray design by making use of classical multi-study, optimisation dimensional search techniques. Tray designs evolved using this approach are superior to those obtained using existing iterative empirical design procedures. Examples of the new approach to several industrial column traying and retraying exercises are given.
