| Summary: | This paper aims to analyze options for the
utilization of waste heat at oil refineries, specifically focusing on the
rectification column. The study was carried out using the Aspen HYSYS software
package. In this paper, two fundamentally different solutions were considered,
which were modeled in the Aspen HYSYS software package, the proposed options
were also compared, and their advantages and disadvantages were identified. In
the first case, it is proposed to consider using the energy from the
hydrocarbon stream to heat water for a hot water supply system. In the second
case, it is proposed to use same initial energy stream to produce electricity
by applying Rankine cycle. As a result of the study, both proposed options for
waste heat utilization were recognized as economically justified. However, the
feasibility of using these solutions depends significantly on the needs of a
particular enterprise, on their scale, the schemes implemented on them, the
operating installations composition, loads, energy consumption parameters, and
other parameters. |
