Indirect Heat Integration across Plants: Novel Representation of Intermediate Fluid Circles

Interplant heat integration (IPHI) using intermediate fluid circles provides an additional opportunity for energy saving and emission reduction, beyond traditional intraplant heat integration. However, the number of intermediate fluid circles as well as their heat capacity and temperatures are all variables. It is difficult to find promising solutions, since such conditions generally lead to nonlinearity. To deal with this problem, a transshipment type model, which holistically optimizes the parameters and interconnectivity patterns of intermediate fluid circles and keeps the constraints linear, is developed. New formulations are developed to identify exact distributions of intermediate fluid circles (namely heat transfer available intervals) among all temperature intervals, with unknown temperatures. Additionally, mixed-integer linear constraints are developed to describe interconnectivity patterns of intermediate fluid circles so as to calculate piping and pumping cost. The performances of different int...
