Abstract: The problem of optimization of the number of measuring devices for refinery material balance reconciliation is considered. The algorithm for minimization of measuring devices quantity for data reconciliation and identification all flows is designed. Arrangement redundancy measuring devices algorithm is proposed. Heuristic algorithm for gross error detection is developed. Computer algebra system is used for solving these problems. The practical implementation of the research study results for refinery material balance system design is described.

Keywords: models, optimization methods, measuring instruments, computer applications, material balance.
