Pinch Analyses Services
Apart from the software development, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts also operates a PinCH Center in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.
PinCH Center
The PinCH Center provides industrial companies and engineering firms extensive support in the practical application of pinch analyses and use of the PinCH software.
The PinCH Center can address questions such as:
• When is the application of a pinch analysis meaningful and worthwhile?
• Which approach leads to the specified goals safely and efficiently?
• How does one conduct a pinch analysis for a specific case?
The goal of a pinch analysis is to determine what measures can be implemented to optimize your industrial process.
Below you can find further information on how this is done using the PinCH Software.
Measurements and defining process requirements
Defining the process requirements and obtaining the relevant measurements can take up to 60% of the overall time required for a Pinch Analysis.
Accurate measurements at the appropriate locations in an industrial process are vital in obtaining a mass and energy balance that reflects the current state of the process. This information is key for completing the data extraction of the process requirements - the foundation of a pinch analysis.
Conducting Pinch Analysis in industry
Building on the solid foundation of the measurements and defined process requirements, the subsequent pinch analysis can be completed. Together with the PinCH software, the PinCH Center personnel have the expertise and experience to carry out the pinch analysis to the highest standard.
