Both detailed and simplified (spreadsheet) programs are now available to calculate the energy targets.One major challenge confronting absorptive CO 2 capture is its high energy requirement, especially during stripping and sorbent regeneration. In 1983 he set up a consultation firm known as later acquired by.Many refinements have been developed since and used in a wide range of industries, including extension to heat and power systems andnon-process situations. These algorithms enabled practical application of the technique.In 1982 he joined University of Manchester Institute of Technology (, present day ) to continue the work. At that time he had joined (ICI) where he led practical applications and further method development.Bodo Linnhoff developed the 'Problem Table', an algorithm for calculating the energy targets and worked out the basis for a calculation of the surface area required, known as ‘the spaghetti network’. Student under the supervision of Dr John Flower at the showed the existence in many processes of a heat integration bottleneck, ‘the pinch’, which laid the basis for the technique, known today as pinch-analysis. In practice, during the pinch analysis of an existing design, often cross-pinch exchanges of heat are found between a hot stream with its temperature above the pinch and a cold stream below the pinch. Hence, by finding this point and starting the design there, the targets can be achieved using to recover between hot and cold streams in two separate systems, one for temperatures above pinch temperatures and one for temperatures below pinch temperatures. This is where the design is most constrained. The point of closest approach between the hot and cold composite curves is the point (or just pinch) with a hot stream pinch temperature and a cold stream pinch temperature. These data are combined for all the streams in the plant to give composite curves, one for all hot streams (releasing heat) and one for all cold streams (requiring heat). It is also known as, heat integration, energy integration or pinch technology.The process data is represented as a set of energy flows, or streams, as a function of heat load (kW) against temperature (☌). Pinch analysis is a methodology for minimising energy consumption of by calculating thermodynamically feasible energy targets (or minimum energy consumption) and achieving them by optimising heat recovery systems, energy supply methods and process operating conditions.
