Abstract
Process Integration (PI), which supports Process Design, Integration, and Optimisation, has been around since the early 1970s. PI evolved from Heat Integration, which remains the cornerstone of PI and its continuous advance. Heat Integration is closely related to the development of Chemical, Mechanical, and Power Engineering. It has been supported by the extensive implementation of mathematical modelling, simulation, and optimisation, as well as the application of information technology. Its development has accelerated over the years as its methodology has provided answers and support for important economic development issues—better utilisation and savings of energy, water, and other resources. This contribution provides a short overview of Heat Integration—its historical development, achievements, and future challenges.
