Application of Integrated Concept in Industries for Maximizing Energy Saving Potential

Abstract

An enormous amount of reusable energy, especially heat, steam, water, oil and so on can be generated or retrieved during the production in industries. It is profitable for companies to efficiently recycle this kind of energy for cutting down on energy consumption. To achieve this, the integrated concept is applied to maximizing energy saving potential in industries. A brief introduction to the development of the process integration technology is given at first. A modeling approach dedicated to build process model and optimization model is then proposed, which integrates all the production activities through the formation of energy, material, and information and emission flow. Sine chloralkali production is a typical industry process involving with considerable energy worthwhile to reuse, the proposed modeling approach are carried out to this case for demonstrating the implementation of the integrated concept in industries.
