1. Identifying Energy Saving Opportunities in Process Heating through Waste Heat Recovery and Power Generation Bryan Warren Southern California Gas Company Chris Cockrill Department of Energy EERE-ITP Arvind Thekdi E3M, Inc.

2. Process/Assembly(P/A) Process heating Process Atmosphere - gases Machine drive (Pumps, Fans, Blowers, Compressors, Vacuum pumps, Other Electric Motor Driven Systems) Water and other utilities Building (HVAC, Lighting etc.) Boiler-Steam-Cogeneration Primary Energy Use in Industries

3. Energy Use Pattern for Major Industries

4. Supplying heat to materials using Furnaces Ovens Heaters Kilns Dryers for further processing in manufacturing operations What Is Process Heating ?

5. Heat in Flue Gases Furnace Heat Input Energy distribution in a typical heating system

6. How much heat is wasted? 60% of the total heat input is wasted in flue gases at 2000 deg. F.

7. Waste heat from furnaces, boilers, heaters etc. accounts for 25% to 60% of the total heat input. The waste heat is primarily in the form of combustion products or flue gases at varying temperature. The flue gas temperature depends on the process temperature and the equipment design. The flue gases may contain combustion products (CO2, H2O, N2 etc.) and, depending on the process operation, other contaminants such as SO2, particulates and corrosive gases For any one equipment the flue gas mass flow, temperature and composition may change during the operation. Waste Heat from Process Heating Equipment

8. Considerations “Quality” of heat Presence of contaminants (Corrosive gases, condensable, particulates etc.) Temperature and its variation Mass flow variations (down-times, “start-up and shut-down time etc.) “Seasonality” of waste heat availability (i.e. food, forest products industries) Use of waste heat within the heating system or in process Possibility of using heat within the integrated plant operations Economics of power generation using waste heat (capital cost. Operation and maintenance etc.) Availability of reliable technology for low (<400 deg. F.) temperature waste heat streams Power generation using waste heat recovery

9. In-process (Most preferred) Combustion air preheating Charge heating Water heating Steam generation Within the system or plant (preferred) Cascading of heat from higher to lower temperature processes Water or air heating for the plant Steam generation Absorption cooling Export (For very large installations) Steam generation Steam - Power generation Waste heat recovery methods used

10. Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST) can be used to Estimate total heat used by the process heating equipment used in a plant It can give values magnitude and temperature of waste heat gases from “quality” of The Department of Energy has developed a tool How to estimate waste heat availability?

11. Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST)

12. A tool that can be used to: Estimate annual energy use and energy cost for furnaces and boilers in a plant Perform detail heat balance and energy use analysis that identifies areas of energy use, efficiency and energy losses for a furnace Perform “what-if” analysis for possible energy reduction and efficiency improvements through changes in operation, maintenance and retrofits of components/systems Obtain information on energy saving methods and identify additional resources What is PHAST? Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST)

13. The Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST) was developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in cooperation with the Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA). A subcommittee consisting of members from major industries (i.e., petroleum refining, chemical) and equipment suppliers acted as an advisor during the tool’s development. Development efforts were supported by The Office of Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) of the US Department of Energy (DOE). Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST)

14. Introduction Plant Equipment Information Furnace Analysis – Heat Balance Reports Transfer (Import/Export) of Data Files Major Sections of PHAST

15. Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool(PHAST) Use “Plant Information” section of PHAST to enter and analyze the data for process heating equipment

16. The report shows: Estimated annual energy use and estimate annual cost of energy for heating equipment (furnaces, ovens etc.) List of heating equipment and % of total energy cost used for each equipment in order of annual cost of energy used Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool(PHAST)

17. Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool(PHAST) • Use survey forms to collect data for each item listed in various Tabs of the form • Use instructions given for each entry to collect the required data • Review values of energy use or losses are for each major category of energy use

18. The report shows Analysis of energy used in various parts of a furnace under a given operating condition Comparison of energy use for current operations and with possible changes (what-if analysis) in operating conditions for the furnace Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool(PHAST)
