Efficient use of secondary energy resources at an organic synthesis enterprise by the method of energy-technological combination

Abstract

Organic synthesis enterprises are characterized by multi-stage technological processes and large volumes of production of various products, the production of which is associated with a huge consumption of energy resources. First of all, the technological processes of such enterprises are associated with the conversion and consumption of water vapor and electric energy, which are transformed from external sources. Currently, there is a tendency in the energy industry to replace outdated capacities with new ones by the installation of efficient combined cycle power units, the construction of which is costly both financially and resource-wise, requiring the involvement of highly qualified personnel. All this leads to an increase in energy tariffs, which affects the financial performance of large consumers, including organic synthesis enterprises, whose technological processes are associated with the formation of secondary energy resources in the form of water steam, flue gases, combustion gases, hot water. This article offers a variant of the useful use of water steam for technological processes and the generation of electrical energy for the own needs of the enterprise.
