Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in the development of new technologies to reduce energy consumption in process industries and combat the ever-increasing threat of CO2 emissions and related climatic changes. More recently, a drastic rise in oil and gas prices created more incentive to apply these new technologies to existing plants as well as to newly developed processes.

Pinch analysis has been proved to be a powerful technique for improving the design of process industries, based on a simple and elegant application of basic thermodynamics. Its main application is to improve energy efficiency through better heat integration in different processes and reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
