Alternative methods for energy efficient separation processes 1 (AMES 1)
In industry separation processes use at least half of the available thermodynamic work. Hence development of alternative technologies, which are e.g. 20% more efficient, could reduce the industrial energy consumption considerably.
Further reductions could be obtained by increased use of process integration, i.e. utilizing surplus heat from other parts of the process plant. Integrated processes are inherently difficult to control, thus ensuring reliable operation is also mandatory. Project objectives: 1) Development of a methodology for determination of energy efficient separation processes. ProSyn is used for systematic design of separation processes by determining the possible flowsheets for a given separation task. Energy integration is performed subsequently by emphasizing optimal placement of thermodynamic bottlenecks. Steady state and dynamic simulations are conducted in order to investigate the oprational aspects of the designed processes
