The improvement of heat recovery in the industry has traditionally been approached from
two different viewpoints–Process Intensification and Process Integration. Many of the …

Heat Integration with heat exchanger network (HEN) is a widely used way to save energy
and improve efficiency. Varied types of heat exchangers and materials would influence the …

This paper presents a method for heat exchanger network (HEN) optimisation considering
plate heat exchangers (PHEs), incorporating detailed PHEs design. The developed method …

Energy integration relies on matching process hot streams with process cold streams, and
utilities are only introduced to balance the deficit in energy consumption. A systematic but …

This paper presents a tradeoff grassroots design of cost-effective and low-CO 2 emissions
heat exchanger networks for crude oil distillation units (CDUs) to address high energy …

Energy integration of the existing chemical and petrochemical facilities is regarded as a
keystone for sustainable energy systems. It is widely known that a considerable number of …

The retrofit of heat exchanger network often needs topology changes to overcome the
network pinch to increase heat recovery. It is difficult to maximize energy recovery and …

In the present contribution, concepts supporting a new analysis method to retrofit heat
exchanger networks (HENs) are presented. The new graphical representation appears to be …

Abstract Changes in the source/sink of the Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) perform as a
disturbance. A novel method is proposed for targeting the bottleneck limiting energy …

Abstract Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) represents significant challenge for retrofitting and
energy optimisation as the most energy intensive consumer in a conventional crude oil …
