Heat integration of fractionators for low temperature separation unit (LTSU) and product recovery unit (PRU)

Heat integration of fractionators for low temperature separation unit (LTSU) and product recovery unit (PRU)

Chemical processing plant typically consumes a lot of energy that used to convert raw materials to desired products. Having said that, gas processing plant (GPP) also requires intensive energy to fractionate mixture of hydrocarbons into sellable products such as sales gas, ethane, propane, butane an...
