THE TASK OF OPTIMIZING OIL LOADING IN TANKERS

Abstract

The paper discusses the task of optimizing oil loading into tankers, using the Baku-Sufsi oil pipeline as an example. The goal is to develop an algorithm for building an optimization method for a tanker from an oil terminal, which represents the cost from the pipeline as a Fourier series. The problem of the hydraulic differential equation for loading oil flow from the terminal to the tankers is discussed. After integration, the equation does not have an obvious solution and must be solved approximately by an iterative or graphical method. As a result, factors and regularities are identified, which are combined with real oil parameters. Therefore, for the first time in Georgia, an original methodology for building an optimization algorithm for oil loading from a terminal to a tanker was developed.
