SPIRE Brokerage event October 22nd 2013 SPIRE 6 – 2015: Industrial Synergy by Energy Network Optimization Project Idea Presentation
ArcelorMittal: a global company … 61 major industrial plants in 27 countries and a worldwide distribution network 290,000 employees Over 1200 full-time researchers Steel market leader in Industry, transport, automotive, packaging ArcelorMittal production sites around the world
Industrial Synergy by Energy Network Optimization: Process Integration tools (like Pinch Analysis) are already applied with success in different industries to optimize and reduce energy needs of single process units and production lines. The aim of this project is to implement this Process Integration concept to link different process units and production lines inside whole large integrated industrial plants by using Pinch Analysis tool to optimize utilities production and energy networks. Another objective is the integration of multiple companies on a single industrial production site by using the same methodology, because a more general cross-sectorial interaction is needed for a major impact within the process industry. This will facilitate future industrial symbiosis between different sectors, by integrating energy flows within existing industrial parks. Models, prototypes and pilot implementations in real industrial plants represent a clear added-value for European industry.This project refers to SPIRE 6 – 2015 “Energy and resource management systems for improved efficiency in the process industries”. It is also linked to SPIRE 4 – 2014 “Methodologies, tools and indicators for cross-sectorial sustainability assessment of energy and resource efficient solutions in the process industry ”. Concept
Key challenges • The main points to develop are: • - Total site Pinch Analysis of integrated industrial plants or multi-industrial zones • Design of optimal networks for whole integrated plants and possible industrial synergies between different local industries • Heat cascading between different Energy users • Modelling of utilities networks (Energy vectors, heat and pressure drops in pipes, compressor units, low and high temperature heat pumps …). • Analysis and optimisation tools for flexible energy use will be developed, suitable both for small and large scale in a flexible approach • Batch processes integration by network optimisation and adapted Energy storage (with technological developments if needed) • Technico-economical studies for sustainable real applications in European industry 4
Impact Energy synergy between industries: Holistic energy networks should facilitate significant gains in sustainable processing with regard to several parameters (resource efficiency, energy efficiency and the emission performance). Optimisation of interdependencies and the identification of technology components allowing for a breakthrough regarding a cost effective reduction in the use of resources, which overcomes the difficult cross-company collaboration. Optimisation of energy and resources supply and demand in selected areas should reduce the overall costs in energy intensive industries by at least 15%, by taking into consideration both economic and sustainability factors. Best practices exchanges between several industries will accelerate the diffusion of energy saving methods, tools and technologies in Europe.
Looking for partners… All industrial or research and university partners able to participate in the following tasks: • To be ready to share energy streams with other industries • To identify several industrial waste heat steams able to be shared • To define technical constraints and industrial needs • To develop models, to simulate and to optimize energy networks • To design and implement optimal energy networks between processes • To evaluate real Energy and CO2 gains thanks to industrial synergies
Organizations A real “consortium” is not yet finalized, but several expressions of interest on related topics have been received so far from: • ESTEP, the Steel Community's European Steel Technology Platform (ArcelorMittal …) • Petrochemical industry • Cement Industry • Paper industry • Food industry • Research centers (BFI, CSM, ISQ, TECNALIA, IVL …) • Universities (SSSA, ULG …)
