In such plants, some process streams may need compression, while others may need expansion. Optimal integration of these streams may yield major savings in energy. In this work, we introduce a work exchanger network synthesis problem that is analogous to the well-known heat exchange network synthesis problem. We model the details of compressor and turbine operating curves to identify high-pressure and low-pressure streams that should be matched for work exchange via compression/turbine stages located on a single shaft. We propose a superstructure for the work exchange network configuration and develop a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) to minimize the total annualized cost for a constant speed of the single shaft. We use this preliminary model to optimize shaft speed, and demonstrate the benefits of an optimized network via an illustrative case study. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. | Source Title: | Computers and Chemical Engineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/64449 | ISSN: | 00981354 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.compchemeng.2011.09.007 |
