Ambitious targets for carbon emissions reductions are highlighting new challenges for electrification strategies, leading to an increased focus on building load flexibility and energy management to complement the variability inherent in renewable…
Tough environmental regulations, intense competition, expensive fossil energy use, and the strong growth predictions of the natural gas market have prompted efforts to retrofit the existing purification processes to reduce their energy requirements.…
Delayed coking is an important way in the thermal treatment of heavy oil. The process consumes tremendous energy, mainly used to provide reaction heat for the coking process. In this paper, to retrofit a certain delayed coking plant, taking features…
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has entered regulatory agendas in shipping. In Norway, a debate has been ongoing for over a decade about whether liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship fuel enables or impedes the transition to a greener future for…
Hydrogen production is critical to many modern chemical processes – ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining, direct reduction of iron, and more. Conventional approaches to hydrogen manufacture include steam methane reforming and autothermal reforming,…
Energy conservation and efficiency improvement are critical problems for industrial process systems. Heat exchanger network retrofit has emerged as a powerful tool for energy-saving and Heat Integration, but the topology modification with new heat…
