Abstract

The pinch technology for energy targetting is utilized to calm calculate target heating and cooling loads for a 100 t/d vapour recovery unit. Target heating and cooling loads of 78.41 of the present theoretical values were respectively calculated. These target heating and cooling loads could be achieved by redesigning the heat exchange train utilizing the pinch technology rules.
