Pyomo, a Python Optimization Modeling Objects software, is an open-source modeling language for solving optimization problems. A highly beneficial extension of Pyomo is its Chemical Engineers Package, which provides a comprehensive set of modeling components specifically designed for chemical engineering applications.
Chemical engineers utilize this package when working with optimization problems related to process design and operations, such as maximizing yield or minimizing energy consumption. Pyomo’s Chemical Engineers Package offers a user-friendly interface, powerful optimization capabilities, and a wide range of built-in unit operations and models. One notable historical development was the integration of nonlinear solvers, enabling the handling of more complex and realistic problems.
