Abstract

The constant tightening of environmental regulations and the ongoing need to reduce operating costs have posed a challenge for the design of any chemical process. Exergy is a potential indicator that can aid in the design of energy efficient chemical processes and plants. An open source exergy calculator has been created by embedding the calculation procedure in an open source chemical process simulator. This serves as a potential tool for design teams to quickly evaluate several process options in detail in order to understand their energy utilization. A simulation case study is presented to show the application of the tool.
