Exergy-based analyses of an advanced zero emission plant

Evaluation of an Integrated Cryogenic Natural Gas Process with the Aid of Advanced Exergy and Exergoeconomic Analyses

In this study, an integrated structure of the air separation unit, natural gas liquids recovery equipped with nitrogen removal unit is developed. In this regard, advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are used to examine the irreversibility, possible improvements and the cost of the inefficiencies of the process. The exergy analysis presents information on the origin of the irreversibility...

Plant-wide Simulation of an Integrated Zero-Emission Process to ‎Convert Flare Gas to Gasoline

The Gas to Gasoline (GTG) process includes conversion of natural, flare, and associated gas into synthetic fuels that can be compositionally upgraded and adjusted into different useful hydrocarbon fuels including gasoline, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and fuel gas. Commonly, the GTG process involves three stages: 1) Synthesis gas (syngas) production unit 2) Methanol production unit 3) Methanol t...

Assessment of a Real Combined Cycle Power Plant with Supplementary Firing Based on Advanced Exergy/Exergoeconomic Methods

This research performs the advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) located in Zavareh, Iran. The objective of this research is to evaluate the irreversibilities, their related cost rates of each part of the CCPP that can be avoided and the inefficiencies of each part that caused by other components. The advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses indic...
