Abstract: The use of Pinch technology is very often strongly limited by the existence of complex chemical process units (combustion, drying, scrubbing, etc.) in the energy system of the plant. Since this methodology, in its standard form, does not account for chemical operation inside those units, only a few process streams can be used for the creation of the heat exchanger network. The final design, in accordance with the overall mass and energy balance of the plant, will generate only slight increase in the energy efficiency.
