Abstract

Integrating the energy available in industrial processes in the form of heat and work is fundamental to achieve higher energy efficiencies as well as to reduce process costs and environmental impacts. To perform this integration, a new framework for the optimal synthesis of work and heat exchange networks (WHEN) aiming to reduce capital and operating costs is presented. The main contribution of this paper is the elaboration of a new WHEN superstructure and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) derived model. Strategies of changing variables are applied to reduce the number of decision variables from the model. The MINLP problem with a reduced number of decision variables is solved with a two-level meta-heuristic optimization approach, using Simulated Annealing in the combinatorial problem and Particle Swarm Optimization in the nonlinear programming problem. For the sake of validation, this methodology is applied to three case studies comprising two, five, and six process streams. Economic savings achieved outperform results reported in the literature from 1.0 to 7.2%. Also, the solutions obtained present non-intuitive WHENs that shows the importance of using superstructure-based mathematical programming for such a difficult decision-making task.
