| Summary: | Since its debut in the last quarter of the
twentieth century, pinch technology has become an
efficient tool for efficient and cost-effective engineering
process design. This method allows the integration of
mass and heat streams in such a way that minimizes
waste and external purchase of mass and utilities.
Moreover, integrating process streams internally will
minimize fuel consumption and hence carbon emission
to the atmosphere. This paper discusses a
programmable approach to the design of mass and
heat exchange networks that can be used easily for
large scale engineering processes. |
