Abstract: Over recent years a new methodology for the analysis and design of heat exchanger networks, called pinch technology, has led to significant energy savings in the chemical and process industries. ...

Abstract: Thermodynamically based procedures that guarantee minimum energy levels in the design of integrated systems have recently been reported in the chemical engineering literature. These procedures—generally ...

Abstract: Pinch technology has recently introduced techniques for optimizing integrated energy systems before design. The procedures apply to heat exchanger networks, heat pumps, combined heat and power ...

Abstract: New production processes often need to be located in existing sites. Existing sites usually have existing utility systems providing electric power and steam in a limited number of existing ...
