I would like to seek your opinions on the way ahead for my final year process design
My team and I performed heat integration our process plant and turns out that:
for Hot Utility: we require a boiler to top up additional heat input (14364.34kW)
for Cold Utility: we have a lot of heat to remove from the system (232608.74 kW of low grade heat)
*I know the amount of energy calculated are too high, its due to the specifications of the process plant*
Suggestions:
- Design an Organic Rankine Cycle to recover energy wherever possible (between 90degC to 220degC)
- Design Heat removal system (i.e. cooling tower to cool temperatures from 90 degC to 20 degC)
Are there any other methods to recover heat energy that's not even steam?
Kindly enlighten me
Much appreciated
