Pinch Technology

The book introduces the fundamentals of process integration and the pinch technology method, showing how energy can be reclaimed and reused within industrial operations. Its focus is on plants in the oil and gas sector, petrochemical facilities, and other industries where recycling energy within a process is a practical concern.

Alongside its core methods, the text surveys a wide range of earlier research and published work on recovering energy in oil, gas, and petrochemical production, gathering that material into one reference.
