Principle of ORC system
ORC system to be applied for petrochemical industry
During the process, the top fluids from columns need to be condensed by a cooling system. For aromatics complex as an example, the top fluids from o-xylene column, dehaptane column and finished product column are normally required to be condensed by a cooling system. A set of water heat exchanger can be arranged to replace the existing cooling system. The hot water after heat exchange with top fluid will be used as the heat source of ORC system. This solution will bring us a good economic and social benefit.
