The resulting tighter formulation incorporates major physical parameters for the membrane regenerators. The resulting nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) based on a source-regenerator-sink superstructure is implemented on a case study and solved to global optimality using GAMS/BARON. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. %P 1457-1461 %I Elsevier B.V. %V 31 %A C.S.
