Cost–Effective Retrofit Of A Palm Oil Refinery Using Pinch Analysis
View through CrossRef
Kilang penapisan minyak sawit lazimnya melibatkan proses penggunaan tenaga yang tinggi. Peningkatan kecekapan tenaga adalah amat penting bagi memastikan keuntungan tercapai. Kertas kerja ini menggunakan teknik analisis jepit bagi memaksimumkan penggunaan semula haba dan meningkatkan kecekapan sistem rangkaian haba sedia ada di kilang penghasilan minyak sawit, tertakluk kepada kekangan–kekangan proses. Langkah–langkah yang terlibat ialah penetapan sasaran guna semula haba maksimum diikuti dengan reka bentuk rangkaian haba yang ekonomik. Aplikasi teknik berkenaan kepada kilang penghasilan minyak sawit telah menghasilkan pengurangan penggunaan haba panas dan sejuk sebanyak 700 kW (21%), atau penjimatan kos utiliti sebanyak RM370,787, dengan pelaburan kapital sebanyak RM656,293 dan jangka pulangan balik selama 1.77 tahun.

A palm oil refinery involves energy–intensive processes. Maximizing thermal efficiency of palm oil refinery is crucial for the plant profitability. This work implements a pinch analysis retrofit technique to maximize heat recovery and thermal efficiency of a palm oil refinery, subject to the existing process constraints. The procedures involve setting the maximum heat recovery targets and cost–effective retrofit of the heat exchanger network (HEN). Application of the technique on a palm oil refinery results in reduction of 700 kW (21%) heating and cooling loads or a saving of RM370,787, incurring a capital investment of about RM656,293 and a payback period of 1.77 years.
Key words: Pinch analysis; palm oil; retrofit; heat exchanger network; maximum heat recovery
