2.
Build a problem table from flow sheet data.
3.
Calculate pinch temperature and target minimum utilities
using problem table analysis and composite curve.

Synopsis
This course is focussed on the maximum energy recovery (MER)
from process streams (heat integration) using pinch technology.
The course contents include setting energy target, generating
composite curves and grand composite curves, problem table
algorithms and heat exchanger network with maximum energy
recovery (MER). In addition, the minimum number of the heat
exchanger units is determined using energy relaxation.
