Total site methodology as a tool for planning and strategic decisions

A Total Site (TS) is defined as a set of processes (industrial plants, residential, business and agriculture units) linked through the central utility system. The utility system incorporates a number of operating units such as boilers, steam turbines, gas turbines and letdown stations. Many sites are using the TS system representation. Heat Integration at TS level has been well developed and successfully implemented. However, sites typically develop with time and even minor changes/extensions can affect TS heat recovery significantly. It is beneficial to plan their strategic development in advance, to increase or at least not to decrease the rate of heat recovery when integration of additional processes takes place. Even when this has not been done at the initial stage, the TS methodology can still be used as a tool for the strategic planning decision making. This work illustrates how the TS methodology can contribute to the strategic development and the extension planning of already existing TS. The aim is to reveal the potentials for Heat Integration, when new units or processes are considered for the inclusion in the TS. Moreover, some operating parameters (e.g. temperature or capacity) of the unit can be proposed to achieve the best possible heat recovery. The degrees of freedom for TS changes can be on two levels: (i) only adding an operating unit to the current utility system (the Total Site Profiles remain the same) or (ii) changing of the TS by including more processes (the Total Site Profiles are changed). The first group of changes includes the integration of heat engines to produce electricity utilising heat at higher temperature and returning it to the system at lower temperature, which is still acceptable for the heat recovery and simultaneously for the electricity production. The second group of changes is more complex. For evaluating these changes a plus/minus principle is developed allowing the most beneficial integration of new units to the TS. Combinations of both types of changes are also considered

Total site targeting with stream specific minimum temperature difference

The paper focuses on extending traditional Total Site Integration methodology to produce more meaningful utility and heat recovery targets for the process design. The traditional methodology leads to inadequate results due to inaccurate estimation of the overall Total Site heat recovery targets. The new methodology is a further development of a recently extended traditional pinch methodology. The previous extension was on the introduction of using an individual minimum temperature difference (δTmin) for different processes so that the δTmin is more representative of the specific process. Further this paper deals with stream specific δT min inside each process by setting different δT contribution (δTcont) and also using different δTcont between the process streams and the utility systems. The paper describes the further extended methodology called stream specific targeting methodology. A case study applying data from a real diary factory is used to show the differences between the traditional, process specific and stream specific total site targeting methodologies. The extended methodology gives more meaningful results at the end of the targeting with this avoiding the over or under estimated heat exchanger areas in the process design

Premises for a combined Exergy and Pinch Optimization within ProSimPlus® simulator

The recent increase in fossil fuel prices and the more and more stringent environmental regulations have stimulated the search for further improvements. A short term and sustainable solution consists in improving energy efficiency of industrial processes. To tackle this challenge, a combined exergy and Pinch Analysis has been developed for industrial process’ optimization. To summarize the presented methodology, the Exergy Analysis firstly aims at making a diagnosis of the existing process by identifying the major inefficiencies; then based upon this diagnosis; the Pinch Analysis enables to give concrete solutions to improve its energy efficiency. Moreover, the strength of this work relies in the implementation of this Exergy Analysis and Pinch Analysis methodologies in the process simulation software ProSimPlus® which provides an efficient support to the engineer

Critical analysis of process integration options for joule-cycle and conventional heat pumps

To date, research on heat pumps (HP) has mainly focused on vapour compression heat pumps (VCHP), transcritical heat pumps (TCHP), absorption heat pumps, and their heat integration with processes. Few studies have considered the Joule cycle heat pump (JCHP), which raises several questions. What are the characteristics and specifics of these different heat pumps? How are they different when they integrate with the processes? For different processes, which heat pump is more appropriate? To address these questions, the performance and integration of different types of heat pumps with various processes have been studied through Pinch Methodology. The results show that different heat pumps have their own optimal application range. The new JCHP is suitable for processes in which the temperature changes of source and sink are both massive. The VCHP is more suitable for the source and sink temperatures, which are near-constant. The TCHP is more suitable for sources with small temperature changes and sinks with large temperature changes. This study develops an approach that provides guidance for the selection of heat pumps by applying Process Integration to various combinations of heat pump types and processes. It is shown that the correct choice of heat pump type for each application is of utmost importance, as the Coefficient of Performance can be improved by up to an order of magnitude. By recovering and upgrading process waste heat, heat pumps can save 15-78% of the hot utility depending on the specific process

Simultaneously Retrofit of Heat Exchanger Networks and Towers for a Natural Gas Purification Plant

As an essential part of Heat Integration, the heat exchanger network (HEN) plays a vital role in large-scale industrial fields. The optimisation of HEN can increase energy efficiency and considerably save the operating and investment cost of the project. This study presents a novel approach for simultaneous optimisation of plant operating variables and the HEN structure of an existing natural gas purification process. The objective function is the total energy consumption of the studied process. A two-stage method is developed for optimisation. In the first stage, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is developed to optimise variables including tower top pressure, tower bottom pressure, and reflux ratio on the HEN, thereby changing the initial temperatures of cold and hot streams in the HEN. In the second stage, a shifted retrofit thermodynamic grid diagram (SRTGD)-based model and the corresponding solving algorithm was applied to retrofit the HEN. The case study shows that the optimal operating conditions of towers and temperature spans of heat exchangers can be solved by the proposed method to reduce the total energy consumption. The case study shows that the total energy consumption is reduced by 41.5 %
