Cleaning Schedule Optimization of Heat Exchanger Network Using Moving Window Decision-Making Algorithm

Cleaning Schedule Optimization of Heat Exchanger Networks Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Oil refinery is one of industries that require huge energy consumption. The today technology advance requires energy saving. Heat integration is a method used to minimize the energy comsumption though the implementation of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN). CPT is one of types of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) that functions to recover the heat in the flow of product or waste. HEN comprises a number o...

Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Network Subject to Fouling and Ageing with the Cleaning Schedule Optimized

In order to reduce extra capital and energy cost caused by fouling and ageing, this paper presents a new methodology for synthesizing heat exchanger network (HEN) with the cleaning schedule optimized. Two cleaning methods with different cleaning efficiency are used to remove fouling and ageing, so the cleaning mode has to be selected along with an optimal cleaning schedule. The process is imple...

Thermodynamic Optimization of Plate-fin Heat Exchanger Using Teaching-learning- Based Optimization (tlbo) Algorithm

This study explores the use of teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm for thermodynamic optimization of a plate-fin heat exchanger. Minimizing the total number of entropy generation units for specific heat duty requirement under given space restrictions is considered as objective function. Based on the applications heat exchanger length, fin frequency, numbers of fin layers, lanc...

On-line optimization of a crude unit heat exchanger network

This paper describes modeling and on-line optimization of a crude unit heat exchanger network at the Statoil Mongstad re nery. The objective is to minimize the energy input in the gas red heater by optimally distributing the cold crude oil in the heat exchanger network. The steady state mass and energy balance of the 20 heat exchangers in the network yields the process model. This model is tted...
