A Multiagent Approach for Sustainable Design of Heat Exchanger Networks

Pinch technology is a familiar energy-saving technology in the chemical industries and has been incorporated in the process simulation software, however the skilled engineersf considerations are required to make preferable heat exchanger networks (HEN). We introduced a multiagent oriented simulation framework into the HEN design to save the energy usage and also reduce the CO2 emissions. In our framework, a number of gHEN design agentsh have their own strategies to optimize HEN respectively. In this paper, we show the effectiveness of our framework applying to two chemical processes.
