El análisis Pinch: integración y optimización en una planta de obtención de biodiesel

In the industry, many processes involve the transference of heat. Nowadays the energetic crisis around the world has taken to look for any industrial processes design the highest recovery of heat in the same process and the minimization of auxiliary services. In 1970 the scientist Linnhoff and co-workers, conceived the Pinch analysis as a methodology to optimize the energetic recovery in a chemist –industrial process, which one is utilized to identify the energetic costs, to minimize the capital investment of a network of heat exchange and choose the best alternative of integration of currents. The main idea of this project, it is to compare the energetic consumption of a conventional process to obtain biodiesel with the same process which is integrated energetically through the Pinch analysis method. The simulation and the energetic analysis to obtain the biodiesel were done by the Aspen HYSYSTM and Aspen Energy AnalyzerTM software, this is obtained from the supply current such as triglyceride (M - oleate), alcohol (methanol) and a catalyst base of (NaOH). Which ones pass through a mix process, that later will be part of a transesterification reaction and the products will separate by other equipments in order to increase the molar concentration of Biodiesel at 98 %.
