Derived a SOTA method that finds the proven optimal solution to the multiperiod blending problem.
This is a problem that every refiner solvea to select raw msterials. They traditionally solve with local optimization methods (LPs) that rely on initial guesses and return suboptimal solutions.
For the same refinery we can find raw material acquisition solutions with 2-5% higher profits.
We made a cloud platform for it and hoping to change the landscape.
