21st - 24th April 2008
Reducing Energy & Utility Costs

Training Seminars

Cheshire UK

 

Utility System Modelling using ProSteam®  

1 day  21st April 2008 -  £705.00 (inc. VAT)

Learn how to improve operational and investment decisions by determining  the true marginal cost impact of changes to utility system operation and configuration. Utility system modelling is a powerful tool for reducing utility costs. It can also be applied hand-in-hand with pinch technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of opportunities for cost reduction through improved integration of processes and utilities.

  • Reduce utility costs
  • Assess utility improvements
  • Improve energy contract management    
  • Reduce and accurately report emissions
  • Improve utility cost accounting

 

Introduction to Pinch Analysis 

2 days  22nd - 23rd April 2008 -  £1057.50 (inc. VAT)  

Learn the fundamental concepts of pinch technology and how they can be applied to reduce energy and capital costs, increase capacity and reduce emissions. It is appropriate for engineers or technical managers who wish to gain an understanding of how to achieve process energy efficiency improvements.

  • Reduce energy costs
  • Remove energy bottlenecks
  • Avoid or reduce capital expenditure
  • Lower emissions

Pinch Analysis applications using SuperTarget® 

1 day  24th April 2008 -  £705.00 (inc. VAT)

Learn how to apply Pinch Analysis in retrofit targeting and heat exchanger network design.  This one-day seminar will teach you to use Linnhoff March’s SuperTarget6 software to identify improvements in existing heat exchanger networks. The seminar is appropriate for engineers wishing to build on the lessons learnt in the introductory course, as well as clients who have, or are considering, a SuperTarget licence.

  • Optimum practical design

  • Reduced design time

  • Unique retrofit tools

  • Push button automation

  • Best in class technology from an independent supplier

Overview

In the early days of pinch technology, the main emphasis was on heat exchanger network design. Today, pinch technology stretches far wider in the fields of overall process improvement and utility system design. The key contribution of the technology is its ability to scope and screen important alternatives for seemingly complex (re)design projects easily and accurately.

The objective of Linnhoff March's pinch foundation training course is to provide training in practical methodology for process improvements using pinch technology. The course provides basic concepts, practical methods that have emerged out of project applications, and hands-on training in the use of SuperTarget, Linnhoff March's pinch technology software. The course is meant for practising engineers in process design and development. It is also relevant for those working on utility system design, site planning and/or operations support.

The development of the technology and the training course material goes back more than twenty years to the original work by Professor Bodo. Linnhoff and co-workers. Since then, the training course material has undergone many updates to keep pace with the technology, project methodologies, and experience.

We are confident that you will find this course the ideal way to become familiar with pinch technology and with all that Linnhoff March has to offer you in terms of experience and tools.
