In recent years, a new technology for minimising the energy requirements of process plant has been
developed: this has been named pinch technology or process integration by its major proponent,
Linnhoff (Linnhoff and Senior (1983); Linnhoff and Turner (1981); Smith (1995)). Process plant, such
as oil refineries or major chemical manufacturing plant, requires that heating and cooling of the feed
stock take place as the processes occur. Obviously it would be beneficial to use the energy from a
stream which requires cooling to heat another which requires heating; in this way the energy which has
to be supplied from a high temperature ...
