In this work, we present a unified framework to simultaneously determine the optimal codependent short term and middle term operating strategies of a batch process for a range of market conditions, while minimizing the capital costs. A single high fidelity model is utilized to develop (i) multiparametric rolling horizon optimization (mpRHO) strategies as a function of process states and time variant market conditions, and (ii) multiparametric Model Predictive Control (mpMPC) for effective set-point tracking, following a similar methodology described in Burnak et al [8]. The design of the process is accounted for as an additional unknown bounded parameter in the offline operational strategies. The offline nature of mpRHO and mpMPC strategies allows for integration in the design optimization of the process, i.e. minimizing the capital costs. The framework is showcased on (i) a single non-isothermal batch reactor, and (ii) a batch process comprising a preprocessing unit, a reactor, and a post-processing unit.
