PINCH ANALYSIS: A TOOL FOR EFFICIENT USE OF ENERGY |
5th - 9th JANUARY, 2009 |
|
|
| |
| |
|
Process Integration (PI) is a general approach for the design of energy efficient process systems and Pinch Technology is a tool to achieve it. In the late 1970s Pinch Technology emerged as a tool for the design of heat exchanger networks against the backdrop of energy crisis. Its key contribution was to provide the engineers with simple concept of heat, power and thermodynamics, which can be used interactively in each stage of design. In 1980s, Pinch Technology received prime attention as a heat exchanger network design tool and it was found that this technology could save around 20–40% of energy bills of the industry. Since then, the method has become broad based. However, its thermodynamic principles, heuristic rules and its key strategy to set targets before design remain intact. With time it has emerged as a powerful, matured integrated design and retrofitting tool for overall process design.
The objective of the present course is to develop concepts for the implementation of Pinch Technology in an integrated process design environment. |
