Optimize a cascaded cooling water network
Waste heat in process units is removed via heat exchange with a recirculating cooling water supply and return stream (FIG. 1).
RAM analysis for refinery process design optimization
RAM refers to reliability, availability and maintainability analysis. The RAM model uses discrete event simulation (DES) software and provides a quantitative assessment of the performance of an industrial plant. This article discusses the use of RAM analysis on petroleum refinery projects to select an optimum process configuration and associated storage requirements.
