Level :Expert
Prerequisite :
Engineer degree or equivalent experience in a transformation industry.
Course Content
ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CONTEXT
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Definition of Key Performance Indicators: energy intensity and efficiency, units and use.
Motivations and constraints: energy dependence and regulation.
Energy management system: PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act), ISO 50001 standard.
Different approaches for energy efficiency: operation improvement, operating conditions optimization and other significant improvement solutions (pinch analysis, alternative technology, process design, best available techniques).
PINCH ANALYSIS & MAIN RULES
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Composite curves (hot and cold streams): building, description and interest.
Pinch point: characteristics and help for solutions design. Key parameters: ΔTmin, integration ratio.
Main rules: “cross pinch”, “plus or minus principle”…
Illustration through examples (heat exchanger network, selection of a compressor).
Advantage of an expert software dedicated to energy analyses.
METHODOLOGY FOR ENERGY ANALYSIS: MAIN STEPS & CASE STUDIES
-
Duration : 2 Days
Several case studies proposed and based on a methodology for energy analysis, adapted for industrial plants or new projects.
At this step, trainees will be able to:
Characterize the energy needs and potential of a process.
Design the most consuming pieces of equipment.
Define savings targets.
Propose potential solutions and options.
Simplify it in order to select most profitable and operational options.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Identify the challenges of energy efficiency,
List the energy efficiency improvement methods.
Ways & Means
Practical course and case studies based on industrial data and adjustable to trainee’s concern.
Use of an expert software to compare to the initial evaluation.
Learning assessment
Quiz at the end of the training session.
