Abstract :

In ethyl benzene plant the heat exchanger network (HEN) is retrofitted by pinch analysis. In ethyl benzene plant ethyl benzene is produce by alkylation process of ethyl and benzene and it is used to produce styrene monomer. Current HEN is working efficiently but there is a possibility to improve the heat exchange in light removal columns. After analysis we get new HEN which better in performance than previous. Alternate HEN get by replacing Heat Exchangers and changing the operating condition. We can save energy. In replacement of new Heat exchangers the capital investment is necessary but the annual saving is enough to recover the cost within the year.
