Abstract Process Integration using the Pinch Analysis technique has been widely used as a
tool for the optimal design of heat exchanger networks (HENs). The Composite Curves and …

Pinch Analysis (PA) has been one of the most established methods since the 1970's for the
design of a maximum heat recovery network. It has been one of the vital tools for maximising …

Pinch Analysis is an established insight-based methodology for design of energy-efficient
processes. The Composite Curves (CCs) is a popular Pinch Analysis tool to target the …

Pinch Analysis is for decades a leading tool to energy integration for retrofit and design. This
paper presents a new graphical technique, based on Pinch Analysis, for the grassroots …

This chapter builds on Chapters 2 and 5 Chapter 2 Chapter 5 and describes more advanced
concepts, representations, procedures and graphical diagrams related to the analysis and …

In this work, the standard network pinch approach (NPA) has been modified and extended to
include some additional practical features. The modified NPA can handle complex network …

The design of heat exchanger networks (HEN) in the process industry has largely focused
on minimisation of operating and capital costs using techniques such as pinch analysis or …

Energy efficiency has become an important feature in the design of process plants with the
rising cost of energy and the more stringent environmental regulations being implemented …

Reduction of energy requirements in the process industries results in increased profitability
and better environmental performance. Methods for heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit …

Energy integration is a key solution in chemical process and crude refining industries to
minimise external fuel consumption and to face the impact of growing energy crises. Typical …
