Syngas production with thermo-chemically recuperated gas expansion systems: An exergy analysis and energy integration study

In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...

Exergy assessment of single and dual pressure industrial ammonia synthesis units

In exothermic, equilibrium-limited processes such as ammonia synthesis, higher per-pass conversions are often achieved by withdrawing the enthalpy of reaction before the conversion has been completed. However, although inter-bed cooling may help controllin ...

Multi-objective superstructure-free synthesis and optimization of thermal power plants

Ligang Wang

The merits of superstructure-free synthesis are demonstrated for bi-objective design of thermal power plants. The design of thermal power plants is complex and thus best solved by optimization. Common optimization methods require specification of a superst ...

Double-effect distillation and thermal integration applied to the ethanol production process

Adriano Viana Ensinas

A double-effect distillation system allows a significant reduction in energy consumption, since the condensers and reboilers of different columns can be integrated thermally. To achieve this goal, some columns operate under a vacuum, while others operate c ...

Advanced Power Plant Design Methodology using Process Integration and Multi-Objective Thermo-Economic Optimisation

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Raffaele Bolliger

Thermo-economic modelling techniques are well known techniques to optimise power plant designs. These methods are usually based on the definition of a superstructure that includes the major options of the design. If this approach has proved to be appropria ...
