Introduction

This report presents energy integration results for a brewery process including pinch analysis, valorization of waste products, utilization of different technologies such as heat pumps and refrigerators, and optimization of the overall process to minimize cost and maximize revenues.

Problem Definition

This project will use a model named BreweryProcess.

A brewery process is composed of a high temperature section, low temperature section, cleaning in place section, biodigestion section, and it can also be equipped with a (co)electrolysis and utilities section (market, coolingtower, heatpumps, supercritical CO2 cycles and a cogeneration unit).

Brewery Process

The calculated parameters are defined as follows:
