APOPT (for Advanced Process OPTimizer) is a software package for solving large-scale optimization problems of any of these forms:

• Linear programming (LP)
• Quadratic programming (QP)
• Quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP)
• Nonlinear programming (NLP)
• Mixed integer programming (MIP)
• Mixed integer linear programming (MILP)
• Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)

Applications of the APOPT include chemical reactors,{{ cite patent | country = WO | number = 2012005740 | status = patent | title = Method for Controlling Bubble Formation in Polymerization Reactors | pubdate = 2012-01-12 | inventor = Lawson, K.
