Abstract

Addition of CO₂ capture unit to an existing power plant to satisfy environmental regulations has adverse effects on the energy efficiency of the power plant. Heat integration through proper design of heat exchanger network (HEN) remains the most effective way to reduce this energy penalty as well as reducing CO₂ emission. Pinch technology remains the most widely ...
