Mass and Water Integration Software Tools

Abstract: Mass Integration studies were the next stage of Process Integration development. No wonder that following the pattern of Heat and Power Integration technology development, Mass Integration software tools soon appeared and became available for industry and academia. In this chapter, the following Mass Integration tools are described: Active learning in chemical engineering (ALChemE), H2-int, Hydrogen Pinch Spreadsheet Tool, HyNDT TM , Mass Exchange Network (MEN), Optimal-Water©, RCNet, WATER, WaterTarget and Water/ Target (Water Design).
