Abstract

This paper presents a ranking criterion for evaluating opportunities that utilize recovered energy from the available waste heat in process sites. The ranking criterion takes into account the energy performance of waste heat recovery technologies associated with each opportunity, their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (namely CO2) and the economics (costs and benefits). Mathematical modelling of the opportunities using the ranking criterion is developed to allow for systematic evaluation of opportunities, for example within an optimization framework. A methodology using the ranking criterion to design site waste heat recovery systems is also proposed.
