In this seminar of the series ‘CERENA's 20^th Anniversary - Process Heat Integration in Industry'  Henrique Matos and Mario Jorge Pinho

Increasing energy efficiency in industry requires sectoral and cross-cutting technological developments, as well as measures to regulate energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. It can be said that energy efficiency is the only source of clean energy, as it eliminates the need for other types and is available in any country, including those with
limited natural energy resources.

Among the cross-cutting measures to increase energy efficiency with application in different industrial sectors, Process Heat Integration stands out. The main objective of heat utilization through the Process Integration methodology is to make the best possible use of the excess heat potential of process areas that have excess heat at temperatures higher than that required by process areas with a heat deficit. In this seminar, we will address two case studies in the Portuguese industrial reality: energy integration in the companies “Anilina de Portugal, SA’ and ‘Renoeste’. In the first case, the production of aniline and mononitrobenzene took place, and in the second, the production of salt from
brine obtained in the construction of caves for natural gas storage.
