A new targeting technique is proposed in this work to determine the minimum resource and waste targets for batch process integration problems. The technique, which is generic in nature, handles fixed-schedule batch heat and mass exchange, as well as water networks equally well. Even though the technique is formulated as a mathematical optimization model, the concept, which is built on the insight-based pinch analysis technique, enables the minimum resource/cost targets to be identified prior to detailed design. Five examples are solved to demonstrate the newly developed technique.
