Chapter 2 2.3.5 Energy supply [43, Chimia, 2000] Two main sources of energy are consumed on the typical site: • steam • electricity. Generally, only steam is produced on-site and electricity is supplied by an external source. Cogeneration by self-production of electricity and steam is advantageous on large sites. Energy is normally provided by boilers equipped with turbines fitted with burners for natural gas and fuel oil, with gas being the main fuel (about 95 %). Spent solvents are often used as a fuel together with gas. Figure 2.5 shows an example for a setup with two boilers sharing an exhaust gas recuperator. Here the smaller boiler (boiler 1 which produces 80 tonnes steam/hour) is mainly used in summer and the larger boiler (boiler 2 which produces 160 tonnes steam/hour) mainly in winter, when the steam demand is higher. The recuperator cools down the exhaust gas from 130 °C to about 45 °C and warms the water from 20 °C to about 60 °C. About 3.8 MW heat is recovered. Steam and electricity can also be provided by on-site combined cycle power plants, thermal oxidisers or incinerators.

2.3.6 Vacuum systems<br />

[9, Christ, 1999]<br />

Chapter 2<br />

Many processes in organic chemistry are operated un<strong>de</strong>r vacuum. A number of criteria influence<br />

the selection of a vacuum pump, such as the required pressure difference, volume flows,<br />

temperature, etc. The choice of the pump type is relevant also from the environmental point of<br />

view. Table 2.5 gives an overview to some pump types and the environmental issues.<br />

Pump type Medium Main environmental issues<br />

Water ring pumps cause relatively large<br />

amounts of waste waters streams. If VOCs<br />

Water are present, these contaminate the waste<br />
