Energy optimization by using pinch analysis for chlorination process in glove manufacturing plant

The manufacturing industry has been driven to reduce its energy use due to the rising cost of fossil fuels and their detrimental environmental impact. Energy audits are frequently used to improve energy efficiency. Most audits, on the other hand, do not include a comprehensive review of design featu...

Energy audits are frequently used to improve energy efficiency. Most audits, on the other hand, do not include a comprehensive review of design features for optimal energy efficiency. In thermochemical industries, pinch technology analysis, which includes heat exchanger design and retrofits, is becoming more common as a way to enhance energy efficiency. Investigations into pinch analysis have been conducted in a number of industrial and processing facilities. However, no research on pinch analysis studies in the chlorination process in glove manufacturing plant has been reported. Therefore, the use of pinch technology analysis to chlorination process in a glove manufacturing plant is presented in this study.
