The Pinch method to improve energy efficiency of industrial sites
In a context of reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints, system analysis, and particularly the Pinch method, is emerging as an effective solution for optimizing energy use in industrial processes.
This methodology aims to determine the minimum amount of energy required and optimize heat exchanger networks, while minimizing operational and investment costs.
The Pinch method stands out for its strategic approach to improving energy efficiency, contributing to decarbonisation and sustainable resource management.
Implementation of the method comprises 5 steps, the first three of which are detailed in this report:
