PINCH TECHNOLOGY

PINCH TECHNOLOGY comprises a set of simple and elegant tools for designing integrated production system with special emphasis on efficient utilization of energy and reducing environmental effects. It does not require complex mathematical formulations and is thus relatively easy to use for industrial problems. When applied in a systematic and logical manner, these design principles allow process engineers to explore alternatives that are economically attractive for grass roots as well as retrofit applications.

ENERGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT

Energy management can help industry control its operating costs. Energy Conservation Act (2001) has made energy management mandatory for large industries. Water is also an important resource in process industries. Water management helps in reducing operating costs through minimising freshwater requirement and wastewater treatment.

Techniques of pinch technology can be applied to conserve energy and water. The technology recognizes the vital necessity to first set targets and then design energy and water networks. These techniques aim at effective reuse, recycle and regeneration for optimal management of water.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The course is planned to equip practicing engineers with the principles of energy integration and techniques of pinch technology for better process design (economically attractive designs with optimal resource requirements), through a judicious blend of theory and industrial case studies. The primary focus of this course will be issues related to energy and water management in process industries. The course will consist of lecture sessions; tutorial / hands-on training sessions; software and industrial case-study sessions.

Participants are requested to bring a pocket calculator for the tutorial and hands-on-training sessions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is intended for professionals in the process industries and engineering consulting companies who are involved either with process design, energy auditing and conservation, water management, waste management, pollution prevention, pollution control and energy/environmental planning decisions.

Certificate of participation will be given to all participants.

PROGRAMME VENUE

The programme will be held at, Victor Menezes Convention Center (VMCC), IIT Bombay. IIT Bombay is a small township in itself. The campus has a green cover, rich in natural flora and fauna. The campus extends over 220 hectares amidst picturesque surroundings with Vihar and Powai lakes on either side.

COURSE CONTENTS

The course will provide a detailed coverage of the basics of Pinch Technology and the primary focus will be on Energy and Water Management. It will cover the following topics:

Pinch Technology
Energy Audit and Conservation
Energy Targeting and Pinch Principles
Design of Heat Exchanger Networks
Water Conservation and Management
Various advances in Pinch Technology
Industrial Case Studies

Tutorial and hands-on training sessions

Lectures will begin at 9:00am every day.

COURSE FEE

Per participant

Rs.10000 for Industry delegates

Rs.8000 for academic participants

The demand draft should be drawn in favour of The Registrar, IIT Bombay- CEP Account payable at Mumbai. No income tax is to be deducted at source from the course fee, as IIT Bombay is exempt from the same.

The course fee includes course material, free software for energy targeting, working lunch and coffee/tea.
