4. Comparing technologies in terms of energy efficiency
The choice of technology when making an investment decision is dictated by other factors, including energy efficiency (energy yield), investment cost and operating cost. To make the right choice, it is also essential to take into account the state of maturity of heat exchanger technologies.
4.1 Energy performance
Identifying opportunities to reduce the energy consumption of a single operation is an important criterion. Indeed, a company that improves its energy efficiency reaps the financial benefits of lower energy bills and higher profits. The challenge is to define the most energy-efficient transformation path from raw materials to finished products. This involves making comparisons between unit operations. The difficulty lies in defining the limits of the...
