For most industrial processes, reducing energy and water consumption is a major economic and environmental challenge. Using the pinch method to recover waste heat by strategically exchanging heat between hot and cold streams within the process, is an excellent choice to reduce energy consumption. Likewise, the reuse of water, with or without regeneration, is a proven way to reduce water consumption and waste in a process.<br \/>\nWhen the number of exchanges is small, finding the optimum configuration manually is easy. But when many configurations are possible, an appropriate methodology and a specific tool become necessary. Based on the Pinch technology, the advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosim.net\/en\/product\/simulis-pinch-energy-integration-of-processes-in-excel\/\"><em>Simulis Pinch<\/em><\/a> is its automatic and fast synthesis of a network of heat and\/or water exchangers, that allows to assess in a few clicks a maximum recovery of water and energy in industrial processes. The engineer can thus quickly determine the modifications to be made to the process to significantly reduce energy and water consumption.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span class=\"txt-color--primary\">Dedicated to process intensification, <a title=\"process industry news pinch\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prosim.net\/en\/product\/simulis-pinch-energy-integration-of-processes-in-excel\/\"><em>Simulis Pinch<\/em><\/a> can be applied to any industrial process.
