Process integration and waste heat recovery in Danish and Lithuanian industri

The project has concentrated as well the training as the develoment part on examples from the industry. Therefore, a series of companies has been attached to the project, which have to a large extent contributed to focusing on low risk solutions of practical use. The examples from the industry can but for one large fertiliser factory all be characterised as small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this way, the project differs from the majority of other process integration research, which has to a large degree been directed towards the complex process industry and the theoretical approach to the process integration. The evaluation of the results has not only been based on the achieved energy savings, but to a similar extent on the time consumed by data collection and analyses. It is of particular importance to medium-sized companies, for which the energy saving potentials are relatively small, to limit the expenses for the process integration analysis in order to render it economically favourable
