Abstract
The petroleum refining industry plays a very important role in international economics and in our daily life. The world refining capacity has increased rapidly during the past decade, and this makes operation planning, scheduling, and general optimization become important tools for the refinery industry. However, environmental regulations and risks of climate change are pressuring the refinery industry to minimize its greenhouse gas emissions. In this research, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is proposed for the production planning of refinery processes to achieve maximum operational profit while reducing CO 2 emissions to a given target through the use of different CO 2 mitigation options. The options considered in this study are flow-rate balancing (decreasing the inlet flow rate to a unit that emits more CO 2 ), fuel switching (changes in a certain operation to run with a different fuel that emits less CO 2 emissions, such as natural gas), and installation of a CO 2 capture process (e.g., the monoethanolamine (MEA) process). The objective of the MINLP model is to determine suitable CO 2 mitigation options for a given reduction target while meeting the demand of each final product and its quality specifications, while simultaneously maximizing profit. In this study, a global optimization algorithm is used on the different case studies considered.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
