The PinCH Center can help your organization increase knowledge in process integration and Pinch Analysis.
The Pinch method provides technicians, engineers, planners and architects with an optimal tool for systematically addressing critical questions relating to industrial energy efficiency and project implementation.
Have you ever been confronted with the following questions from operators or clients of complex thermal systems?
- Which subsystems require the most energy?
- How much potential is there for increasing efficiency and how can this be exploited?
- What useful things can be done with the waste heat generated? Can it be used to generate electricity?
- Is there additional potential for heat recovery?
- Do the measures already implemented make sense?
- An energy supply system needs to be replaced, which technology would be suitable for this specific case and how should this system be optimally designed? What options are available to make the energy supply sustainable?
- What measures are there to massively reduce the system's CO₂ emissions? How should a plant for CO₂ sequestration be optimally integrated into the overall system in terms of energy?
- Can the system be optimized with an energy storage system, the use of heat pump technology or other energy conversion systems?
- How many layers should the storage tank have? How large should the thermal energy storage be?
- How much energy costs can be saved and what needs to be invested to achieve this?
Here you can learn more about the pinch methodology and its application in engineering and consulting firms:
- How do I recognize that a pinch analysis is sensible to use?
- What preconditions are important for learning how to perform a pinch analysis?
- How can I acquire a pinch project?
- How do I organize the cooperation with the customer?
- Can the pinch analysis be combined with other services or offered in combination?
