Objectif To minimize by 30% the specific electricity consumption per tonne of products in the PVC industry. This can be achieved by utilizing the waste heat produced through the self-production of electricity, to raise steam and operate an absorption chiller necessary for the cooling of the final products. Gas is used as motive power in a Gas Engine set, capable to provide 1,9 MW of electricity, which will be used to fully operate a PVC production line of 25,000 tn/yr capacity. A hot water generation process takes advantage of the rejected heat of the jacket and lube oil of the engine. Additionally, 2,3 tn/hr of L.P. steam will be produced in an exhaust gas boiler operating at 1 barg. The amount of generated steam and hot water will be consumed to produce 300 RT of cooling in the form of cold water at 6,7 deg. C. This cooling is exactely as much as is necessary for the final cooling of the 25,000 tn/yr of products.L%The integration of a modified version of the Electricity and Cooling Cogeneration process in the PVC Industry. A Gas Engine system will produce 1,9 MW of Electricity. Waste Heat will be recovered to operate Absorption Chillers producing cold water at 6,7 deg. C. Through this process, 530 kWh/tn of PVC will be consumed instead of 770 kWh/tn of the conventional process (30% less). For 25,000 tn/yr PVC production, 6.0 GWh/yr of Electricity Savings will be assured.Innovatory aspects: Modified Steam Generation in a Gas Engine. Application of Electricity and Cooling Cogeneration in the PVC Industry.
