Optimal placement of work and heat utilities in chemical plants via energy level grand composite curve
In order to construct a novel energy level composite curve
the energy level concept is calculated by the differential concept. The new composite curve is capable of providing total energy target for the whole system. An energy level grand composite curve is further proposed to realize the simultaneous integration of thermal and work. The thermal target
the work target and the process exergy loss can be obtained in the energy level grand composite curve. The methanol synthesis process was selected for case study. Through graphic analysis of the energy level composite curve and the energy level grand composite curve
the work demand is 28 MW
the cold utility is 137 MW
and the energy consumption is reduced by 71.1%. Electricity and circulating cold water were selected as the utility of the methanol process.
