Application of pinch analysis to improve the heat integration efficiency in a crude distillation unit
In this paper, the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger network of an existing crude distillation unit (CDU) was evaluated. The main goal is to determine how much energy savings can be achieved by network retrofitting. Energy losses are inevitable especially in process where equipment and heat i...
