Basic Concepts in Heat Exchanger Network Modelling

  • Chapter
Fouling Science and Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 145))

Abstract

Increasing energy costs have made it imperative to ensure that as little energy as possible is consumed by a chemical plant. Despite the recent fall in the cost of oil, it seems certain that the general trend in energy costs over the next few years will be steadily upward, and so design techniques which can produce energy-efficient plant are of paramount importance. Recent developments in process synthesis -defined by (1) as “the act of determining the optimal interconnection of processing units as well as the optimal type and design of the units within a process system” -have resulted in large cost savings, but have not considered the effects of fouling.
