Multi Objective Pinch Analysis (MOPA) for Integrated Process Design

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Operations Research Proceedings ((ORP,volume 2004))

Abstract

The combination of process integration and Operations Research enables an integrated technique assessment and a subsequent process design. The application of Multi Objective Pinch Analysis (MOPA) permits the identification of overall saving potentials for energy, water and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). In this paper the general concept of MOPA is described and its application is shown in its first steps for a bicycle coating plant in Chile.
