Energy-intensive industry and Heat exchangers and pinch integration

Energy flows from energy-intensive industry to heat exchangers and pinch integration; energy flows from heat exchangers and pinch integration to energy-intensive industry.

Energy-intensive industry (energy) and Heat exchangers and pinch integration (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Energy-intensive industry → Heat exchangers and pinch integration

Pinch integration lets process streams share heat.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · 99% of flow · Heat exchangers and pinch integration → Energy-intensive industry

Exchanged heat preheats feedstocks and process streams.

  • 99% of Heat exchangers and pinch integration's energy goes this way
