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...
