Maximization of heat recovery in heat exchangers of a crude oil distillation unit by modification of the existing network
Driving force in a heat exchanger network was maximized by increasing the temp. difference between the hot and cold process streams and the heat transfer coeffs. The splitting the cold crude oil stream resulted in increasing the recovered heat by 4%.
