Abstract

Abstract:

In order to construct a novel energy level composite curve, the energy level concept is calculated by the differential concept. The new composite curve is capable of providing total energy target for the whole system. An energy level grand composite curve is further proposed to realize the simultaneous integration of thermal and work. The thermal target, the work target and the process exergy loss can be obtained in the energy level grand composite curve. The methanol synthesis process was selected for case study. Through graphic analysis of the energy level composite curve and the energy level grand composite curve, the work demand is 28 MW, the cold utility is 137 MW, and the energy consumption is reduced by 71.1%. Electricity and circulating cold water were selected as the utility of the methanol process.

Key words: energy level, exergy, integration, optimization, systems engineering, work and heat, energy level grand composite curve, placement of utilities
