EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In previous assignment, we know how to produce and how big the equipment
to be used for our plant and then we have to optimize it. One of optimization can be
done is energy optimization which relates to optimization utility needed. Energy and
utility has to be optimized in order to reduce the cost production of our plant. This
energy optimization can be done by using heat exchanger network. By using this we
can determine the minimum utility of cold and hot utility to be used in exchanging
heat with hot and cold stream. There are several method can be used such as
composite curves, problem table cascade, and pinch design.

Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) is used to achieve an optimal energy

economization. HEN is a successful way to minimize energy consumption. HEN
is a system exchange of hot and cold streams to obtain a state where the minimum
utility required. HEN is widely used in processing industries to exchange heat
energy among several process streams with different supply temperature. By the
use of HEN, a large amount of utility costs such as the costs of steam and cooling
water, as well as the costs of heaters and coolers can be saved.
First thing in starting analyze heat exchanger is we have to identify
streams in our plant. Based from identification been done, we know that our
plant ]have two cold stream and three hot stream. HEN based on the calculation
we need minimum cold utility around 150MW. Cold stream need heating to raise
the supply temperature to specified target temperature, while the hot stream
require cooling to lower the supply temperature to desired target temperature. The
hot stream is cooling process and the cold stream is heating process.
In this assignment, we also design the utility system based on the plant
necessity. Utility is divided into three group included water, electricity, and power
generation. The water utility we need for cooling and domestic water is
40,500,000,000 kg per year. Our water is supplied from Bontang River. The total

water utility in our plant is consisting of water utility for process water. The
amount of water utility for cooling system is 75.17 m3/day.
Besides water, we need electricity. The electricity in our plant is derived from
PLN and our own power generation Plant. Our power generation is produce
11,049,490 kWh electricity per year, while our total electricity needed in our plant is

12,861,190.80 kWh per year or equal to IDR .... The electricity that we calculated

here focus for process equipment. The electricity that we used is 3600.02 kWh
that contained electricity from reactor, distillation, and pump.
