Waste Heat Recovery Methods and Technology by using Steam Pressure

Abstract

Abstract

Waste heat recovery (WHR) is vital for increasing energy proficiency in the CPI. At present, there are many WHR methods and technologies at numerous stages of execution in petroleum refineries, petrochemical, chemical and other industry sectors. Recovering waste heat can be conducted through various waste heat recovery technologies to provide valuable energy sources and reduce the overall energy consumption. Increasing energy costs and environmental concerns provide strong motivation for implementing more and newer methods and technologies for WHR. Most of the literature on this topic is based on individual methods and techniques, but there is a need for an integrated approach. The main objective of this article is to provide a review of promising methods and technologies for WHR (up to 400°C) as a ready resource that can be used for better understanding and preface selection of proper WHR techniques. To this end, various WHR practices in the industry and in the literature are compiled and analyzed for their implementation benefits and constraints. Accordingly, the scope of this study includes a comprehensive review of various applicable WHR methods and technologies for the CPI (especially petroleum refineries), and also guidelines for implementing the preferred method or technology.
