Abstract
Industries play a key role in providing continuous supply of human’s essential needs including food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, building materials and equipment. Rapid population as well as industrial growth have been accompanied by rising demands for utility resources and widespread environmental pollution. Over the last four decades, Process Integration (PI) has emerged as a holistic approach for the optimal planning, design and retrofit of minimum resource utilisation networks. PI promotes symbiosis and synergy by maximising resource utilisation efficiency and minimising wastes among interacting processes, industry and systems. In this lecture, state-of-the-art PI techniques developed by researchers from Process Systems Engineering Centre (PROSPECT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia will be highlighted. The talk focuses on the successful industrial implementation of systematic PI solutions to minimise consumption of resources such as energy, water, gas, solvents, CO2 and solid wastes. Among the prominent highlights include implementation and impact on the use of this technique to maximise utility savings and minimise capital and operating costs that resulted in annual cost savings of up to USD12 Million for an oil refinery, and a USD3.4 Million energy savings for a middle distillate synthesis (MDS) plant.
