POWER GENERATION FROM WASTE HEAT IN INTEGRATED HYDROCRACKING AND DIESEL HYDROTREATING FACILITIES
A power generation system includes a heating fluid circuit thermally coupled to multiple heat sources from at least an integrated hydrocracking plant and diesel hydro-treating plant of a petrochemical refining system. A first subset of the heat sources includes diesel hydro-treating plant heat exchangers coupled to streams in the diesel hydro-treating plant. A second subset of the heat sources includes hydrocracking plant heat exchangers coupled to streams in the hydrocracking plant. The heat exchangers are connected to a power generation system that includes an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) including a working fluid that is thermally coupled to the heating fluid circuit to heat the working fluid, an expander configured to generate electrical power from the heated first working fluid, and a control system configured to activate a set of control valves to selectively thermally couple the heating fluid circuit to at least a portion of the heat sources.
Power Generation from Waste Heat in Integrated Crude Oil Refining and Aromatics Facilities
Optimizing power generation from waste heat in large industrial facilities such as petroleum refineries by utilizing a subset of all available hot source streams selected based, in part, on considerations for example, capital cost, ease of operation, economics of scale power generation, a number of ORC machines to be operated, operating conditions of each ORC machine, combinations of them, or other considerations are described. Subsets of hot sources that are optimized to provide waste heat to one or more ORC machines for power generation are also described. Further, recognizing that the utilization of waste heat from all available hot sources in a mega-site such as a petroleum refinery and aromatics complex is not necessarily or not always the best option, hot source units in petroleum refineries from which waste heat can be consolidated to power the one or more ORC machines are identified.
Physico-chemical process for removal of nitrogen species from recirculated aquaculture systems
The present invention provides processes for removing nitrogen species from fresh water or high salinity water recirculated aquaculture systems. The processes are based on physico-chemical treatments which are performed at ambient temperatures and at low p H values thus keeping the total ammonia nitrogen concentrations below a value which is considered detrimental for the growth or survival rate of cultured fish/shrimp.
