  "text": "Technique\nDescription\n(i) Design techniques\na.\nPinch analysis\nMethodology based on a systematic calculation of thermodynamic targets for minimising energy consumption of processes. Used as a tool for the evaluation of total systems designs\nb.\nHeat integration\nHeat integration of process systems ensures that a substantial proportion of the heat required in various processes is provided by exchanging heat between streams to be heated and streams to be cooled\nc.\nHeat and power recovery\nUse of energy recovery devices e.g.:\nwaste heat boilers\nexpanders/power recovery in the FCC unit\nuse of waste heat in district heating\n(ii) Process control and maintenance techniques\na.\nProcess optimisation\nAutomated controlled combustion in order to lower the fuel consumption per tonne of feed processed, often combined with heat integration for improving furnace efficiency\nb.\nManagement and reduction of steam consumption\nSystematic mapping of drain valve systems in order to reduce steam consumption and optimise its use\nc.\nUse of energy benchmark\nParticipation in ranking and benchmarking activities in order to achieve continuous improvement by learning from best practice\n(iii) Energy-efficient production techniques\na.\nUse of combined heat and power\nSystem designed for the co-production (or the cogeneration) of heat (e.g. steam) and electric power from the same fuel\nb.\nIntegrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)\nTechnique whose purpose is to produce steam, hydrogen (optional) and electric power from a variety of fuel types (e.g. heavy fuel oil or coke) with a high conversion efficiency",
