Utility-Process Interface Optimization

A step-by-step procedure was obtained in optimizing the utility and process by working inwards of onion model diagram. The process plantused in the case study is the palm oil refinery, whilethe utility is the steamgeneration withturbo generator. Utility system was the first part that beingoptimiz...
