SuperTarget™ KBC Energy and Utilities Software to Optimise Heat Integration

With current oil prices, energy conservation remains a prime concern for many process industries.

SuperTarget™ is software built to reduce energy for processes and sites through better design. This is achieved through the application of pinch analysis to issues concerning energy use, utility systems and power generation.

SuperTarget is the original pinch analysis software from KBC, proven in over 100 designs and retrofits over the last 20 years.

BENEFITS• Lower energy consumption (average of 10-35%)• Reduced CO2 emissions• Obtain higher return on capital investment• Reduce load on cooling systems• Increasethroughput(averageof10-20%-where

energyisthebottleneck)

These benefits are realised through targeted capital investment identified using the many targeting and network design tools available in SuperTarget. Typical paybacks are 2-3 years, but they can be as low as one year for simple re-piping projects.

RAPID DESIGN & RETROFITSuperTarget has automated tools for both grass roots and retrofit heat exchanger network design, which are backed up by multi-case data handling and continuous targeting throughout the design cycle. Continuous targeting givesa true picture of savings and potential.
