Abstract The emergence of Pinch Analysis from more than four decades ago opened a new
area of intense research development that has even accelerated in recent years. Initially …

There has been growing interest in developing Locally Integrated Energy Sectors (LIES) as
a Process (Heat) Integration approach for synergising the industrial thermal energy systems …

Maximising energy efficiency is essential for an energy system based on renewable or non-
renewable energy sources to minimise fuel demand. Process Integration methodologies for …

The large potential for waste resource and heat recovery in industry has been motivating
research toward increasing efficiency. Process integration methods have proven to be …

Pressure drop is an important consideration in Total Site Heat Integration (TSHI). This is due
to the typically large distances between the different plants and the flow across plant …

The European process industry is facing major challenges to decrease production costs.
One strategy to achieve this is by increasing energy efficiency. Single chemical processes …

Sažetak This paper presents a real industrial example in which the steam utility network of a
refinery is modelled in order to evaluate potential Heat Integration retrofits proposed for the …

In this article an approach to incorporate a flexible cost functions framework into the cost-
optimal design of heat exchanger networks (HENs) is presented. This framework allows the …

In this study, a novel methodology is extended for the Total Site minimum energy
requirement and area targeting, in which streams' optimum pressure drops are used for …

This book provides a thorough guidance on maximizing the performance of utility systems in
terms of sustainability. It covers general structure, typical components and efficiency trends …
