Abstract:This research involved the energy integration of the Catalytic Reforming Unit of a Refinery using Aspen Pinch 11.1 Software. The operating data of the unit was analyzed on composite and grand composite curves from the Software to obtain an optimum minimum temperature of 15oC, pinch temperature of 149.5oC and hot and cold utilities targets of 37094 kW and 22440 kW respectively. Problem table algorithm (PTA) was used as a sensitivity tool to test the accuracy of these values; the exact same values were obtained … Show more
