Linear program
Also known as: LP model
The LP model is an analytical tool used at most refineries to make economically optimal short-term decisions around operations and commercial activities.
Given a set of market conditions (crude and product prices and volumes) and refinery capabilities (capacities and yields), the LP determines the choices of feedstock, refinery utilization, and product make that generate the highest variable cash profitability for the refinery.
