Computational Approach to large Scale Process Optimization through Pinch Analysis
Journal Title: TEM JOURNAL - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Since its debut in the last quarter of the twentieth century, pinch technology has become an efficient tool for efficient and cost-effective engineering process design. This method allows the integration of mass and heat streams in such a way that minimizes waste and external purchase of mass and utilities. Moreover, integrating process streams internally will minimize fuel consumption and hence carbon emission to the atmosphere. This paper discusses a programmable approach to the design of mass and heat exchange networks that can be used easily for large scale engineering processes.
