Energy Efficiency Optimization of Industrial Plant Course
Introduction:
This course is uniquely designed as a tool-box that provides an insight into the variety of energy optimizations topics - offers the knowledge of the Best Practices in energy and prepares the refinery energy managers, process engineers and technical staff involved in energy and the top management’s energy sponsors for their important roles.
Refinery energy efficiency is a multidisciplinary subject. It involves process operations, the utility system, the equipment, power generation, housekeeping, process control, retrofit design, advanced thermodynamic concepts such as Pinch Technology, and effective management. A comprehensive energy-saving program that pushes a refinery to the forefront of energy efficiency and profitability must incorporate all these disciplines.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course the participants will be able to apply techniques which will enable them to conduct the following activities in their refineries:
- Assess the energy efficiency of refinery and individual processes
- Calculate the potential for improvement
- Optimize refinery utility systems (steam and power)
- Apply energy saving techniques to develop energy-saving projects
- Introduce effective Energy Management procedures.
