With
SuperTarget you can improve heat integration
in new design and retrofit projects reducing
operating costs and optimally targeting
capital investment. SuperTarget will give
you the best economic performance target
for heat recovery and will help you design
the most effective heat exchanger network.
SuperTarget
has always been the market leader since
its introduction in 1992 and has been successfully
applied to more projects in more industries
than any other energy pinch product. The
expertise and experience embodied in SuperTarget
together with our commitment to excellence
ensure that whilst it has imitators, it
has no serious rival.
Successive
releases have built on the successful foundation
of their predecessor, continuing to push
back the boundaries of energy pinch analysis
whilst making step changes in ease of use
through improved data handling, data transfer
and increased automation. Still the preferred
tool of energy pinch experts world-wide
SuperTarget is also a tool for day to day
application by novice or occasional users
and makes pinch analysis a routine part
of process design.
Understand
process interactions
 SuperTarget
helps you understand and visualise the complex
interaction of heat sources and sinks within
a single processing unit, in distillation
columns or across an entire manufacturing
site. You can quickly evaluate how changes
in equipment or process operation will affect
energy and capital costs. These insights
are only possible through the application
of Pinch Analysis. SuperTarget makes these
techniques accessible and practical to apply.
The
result is better design in less time:
 |
Higher
return on capital investment |
|
Higher
throughput |
|
Lower energy consumption |
|
Lower
emissions |
|
Lower
operating costs |
Make
the right decisions at the best time
The maximum benefits of Pinch Analysis are
achieved by using SuperTarget during the
initial stages of process design as early
decisions have the greatest impact on project
economics. Decisions made later have a reduced
benefit – completed work needs to be
revised or discarded and process alternatives
become constrained leading to non optimal
designs. With SuperTarget you will enhance
your ability to make the right decisions
at the right time - at the start of process
design.
Superior
results with minimum effort
Although
widely acknowledged as the world's most comprehensive
and powerful tool for energy Pinch Analysis
SuperTarget is also the easiest to use and
has been designed to make it accessible to
users with different levels of pinch expertise.
An intuitive user interface makes the technology
accessible to novice or occasional users,
advanced tools are available to more expert
users and many of the most time consuming
tasks traditionally associated with Pinch
Analysis have been fully or partially automated.
SuperTarget
takes data directly from most popular process
simulation programs through interfaces to
HYSYS, PRO/II, Aspen Plus and WinGEMS. An
automatic data extraction system converts
the raw process data into pinch data, the
user may override the extraction defaults
if necessary.
If
flowsheet data is not available then a simple
heat exchanger summary table can be constructed
from which the software will derive data
for the streams, utilities and heat exchanger
network.
ΔTmin
is calculated automatically or entered manually
and automatic network design tools provide
push button design of complete and partial
networks.
It’s
not just about energy
SuperTarget isn’t just about energy
analysis and heat exchanger network design,
its about finding solutions to design problems
that meet or exceed your economic requirements.
