As heat exchangers in the heat exchanger networks get fouled, the utility in the furnace has to increased to compensate the losses.
Apart from it, the pumping cost must be increasing as deposited foulants in the heat exchangers occlude the fluid flow.
What are the usual proportions of the pumping costs and heating costs ?

Suppose we have a HEN with several multi-pass heat exchangers. However, due to some technical constraints all these exchangers are modelled simply using single pass equations.
What will the impact if such a simplistic model is used in optimization problems, such as network optimization for retrofitting or cleaning scheduling?
For instance, it is clear that we may not end up with global optimal solutions but still what will the qualitative impact of such approximations?
For sake of validation, I would like to compare one of the simulated streams with the experimental TBP curve. Is it possible somehow to generate a TBP curve in ChemCAD having only a CC-steady state license?
Best regards,

I have been convinced by the concept of direct desulfurization of crudes. The commercial development in this technology will help ridding off the require the of mutilpe reactors with different ranges of Catalytic beds in the modern petroleum refinery.
Hello everyon! I am using an Agilent 7890 based refinery gas analyzer, and I found a strange phenomeno. If I analyse sample with lo concentration of oxygen (our CRM gas is 0,5 V/V%) the oxygen peak elutes in a double peak. I calculated the response factors, and the oxygen‘s response factor is two or three times higher than the nitrogen’s ( I assume that it should be nearly the same). I think that a part of the oxygen is trapped or lost during the analysis. Do you have any ideas what can be the problem?
is there any way to estimate GHG emission for total oil downstream flow in a country or estimating an oil refinery emission??
is there any statistics on GHG emission in any oil refinery in iran??
I am working in Havana Bay, and we are analysing the effect of a WWTP in the oil refinery. I think that it important to know how much pollution could be eradicated.
