This thesis investigates a set of advanced topics inspired from the heat integration and the pinch technology, all tied around the challenge of identifying energy savings in large-scale chemical industrial plants. In search for a general-purpose methodolog ...
This paper presents a targeting strategy to solve the heat load distribution (HLD) problem for large-scale plant by dividing the system into sub-systems while considering the heat transfer opportunities between them. The methodology is based on a sequentia ...
This paper presents a systematic approach for the synthesis of the heat recovery network in total site using a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model. This model returns a near-to-optimal network configuration with minimum utility cost while allows to sele ...
This study presents a methodology based on the process integration techniques and multiple representation of heating and cooling requirement concept to improve the energy efficiency of a large-scale chemical plant. Considering the difficulties of data gath ...
This study aims to improve the energy efficiency of an industrial site by applying the thermodynamic analysis of distillation columns together with the total site integration (TSI). Several methods have been proposed in the literatures for the thermodynami ...
