Application of Heat Recovery Loops to Semi-continuous Processes for Process Integration

Abstract: Heat recovery loop (HRL) systems are shown to enhance indirect Heat Integration of large multi-plant sites containing semi-continuous processes. Process Integration (PI) methodologies developed for batch processes are applied to semi-continuous processes and to multi-plant sites containing numerous semi-continuous processes. A design methodology for liquid heat recovery loop systems based on traditional Pinch Targeting methods is presented, and the method is demonstrated using two illustrative examples and an industry case study.
