Energy Optimization Using Pinch Analysis
Pinch technology is a recently established technique based on thermodynamic principles and offers a systematic approach to optimum energy integration in a process.
The principal objective of the process is to match cold and hot process streams with a network of exchangers so that the demands for externally supplied utilities are reduced to a minimum.
