Exploiting classic design heuristics for DWC design and optimization

摘要

The history of the refinery and petrochemical industry is filled with a variety of challenges, followed by the development of state-of-the-art technologies to overcome those hurdles. New legislation has required more environmentally friendly product specifications, while energy costs have kept rising. Meanwhile, novel process designs and unit operations, which offer low capital investment and operational costs while maintaining robust process performance, are introduced.
