Drying Oil Process: Energy Integration and Distillation

Section Optimization
Motivation Aim of the work:
To provide a feasible CAPE-OPEN flowsheet:
 The importance of the drying oil process due to the growing demand  For drying oil production.
on the drying oil.  To reduce the operating cost using pinch technology.
 The recent advances and flexibility of computer aided process
simulators in general and CAPE-OPEN in particular.  Which provides an adequate control strategy for the optimum
heat exchanger network.
DO Process Computer-aided flowsheeting:

DO Process Energy Integration:

 The energy integration for the DO process is
performed using HENSAD.
