Abstract
The methodology is applied to a case study of a petroleum refinery. Hierarchy and performance of waste heat utilization opportunities depends on the temperature of the heat available, amongst other factors. The site operating cost and CO2 emissions reduce by 26% and 18% respectively when opportunities to use the recovered energy from waste heat within and outside the process site boundaries are explored. Sensitivity of the ranking to energy prices is studied, to explore the outlook for waste heat utilization in the future. The methodology can be applied to the process industries and other facilities producing waste heat.
