Exergetic analysis of the refrigeration system in ethylene and propylene production process

Exergy and exergoeconomic evaluation of gas separation process

“…Based on the estimated total capital investment and assumptions for economical, financial, operating, and market input parameters, the total revenue requirement is calculated on a year-by-year basis. Finally, the non-uniform annual monetary values associated with the investment, operating (excluding fuel), maintenance, and the fuel costs of the system being analyzed are levelized; that is, they are converted to an equivalent series of constant payments (annuities) (Fabrega et al, 2009).…”

“…The application of exergoeconomic methods were mostly reported for the analysis of energy conversion systems, such as power plants, cogeneration systems, and refrigeration systems (Mehrpooya et al, 2009), (Luz Silveira et al, 2010;Tona et al, 2010;Khoshgoftar Manesh and Amidpour, 2009;Usón and Valero, 2011;Sayyaadi and Babaelahi, 2010;Ansari et al, 2010;Fabrega et al, 2009;Demirel, 2004;Rivero et al, 2004;Sayyaadi and Saffari, 2009). There are a few reports of applying the exergoeconomic methods on the chemical separation processes (Luz Silveira et al, 2010).…”

Simulation and optimization of refrigeration cycle in NGL recovery plants with exergy-pinch analysis

“…Mafi et al (2008) presented exergy analysis of multistage cascade low temperature refrigeration systems used in olefin plants. Fabrega et al (2010) presented the exergetic analysis of the refrigeration system in ethylene and propylene production processed. In this paper, the operation of propane refrigeration cycle of a typical NGL recovery plant was described first.…”

Advanced exergoeconomic evaluation of single mixed refrigerant natural gas liquefaction processes

“…Energy and exergy analyses is used for five conventional liquefied natural gas processes [1]. Exergetic analysis is done for a refrigeration system in ethylene and propylene production process [2]. Ethane recovery plants refrigeration cycles are investigated by the exergy method [3].…”
