Abstract
A methodology for the thermal integration of electrically driven heat pumpi ng systems between intermediate stages in distillation columns using the co ncept of column grand composite curve is proposed. An optimization procedur e based on a four way trade off between energy, capital, temperature lift a nd electricity to fuel cost ratio is discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science L td.
