Application of Process Integration for energy saving and pollution reduction in Ukraine

The minimisation of energy consumption for existing industries is vital in the conditions of energy crisis. For such conditions, the estimating of real energy consumption and targeting for its decreasing is the very important for sites and plants. It includes the development of optimal ways for the energy saving retrofit with using the methods of Process Integration. The results of implementing of the Process Integration in Ukraine gave a fruitful output. Now the another step is to use the heat exchangers of high effectiveness for optimal heat exchangers networks. The implementing of plate heat exchangers lets to save the investments, energy consumption and to improve the performance in industrial heat exchange networks. Compared with shell and tube ones plate heat exchangers are very compact and have a higher degree of efficiency.
