System, method, and program product for targeting and identification of optimal process variables in constrained energy recovery systems

摘要: Systems, methods, and program product to calculate global energy utility targets model determine an optimal solution for a non-thermodynamically constrained process or cluster of processes subject non-thermodynamic constraints under all possible changes streams specific minimum temperature approaches, are provided. An exemplary system can utilize thermodynamic exhibited in stream-specific approach values ΔT min i as optimization parameters, addition other conditions degrees freedom including the new waste heat carrier target minimizing consumption recovery problem identify operating that result desired constraints.
