There are many ways to enhance the operation of chemical batch plants. One way is to use a parallel operation where two or more operation tasks are executed in parallel or overlap in a time period. This requires providing a computer-aided operation design environment with the facility to design and validate parallel operation. In this research paper, the different aspects of managing parallel operation are analyzed, and enhancements are proposed and implemented within the automated operation management solution CAPE-Oper. Implementation and system design considerations are discussed using a case study of a chemical batch plant.
