Mass and enthalpy balances are necessary for the calculation and evaluation of process plants. The economical and ecological results cannot be optimal because the different values of energy, according to the second law of thermodynamics, and the influence of the environment are not included. This is accomplished by analysis of exergy and evaluation of any process plant through combination with a flowsheeting system. A suitable environmental model in regard to the above-mentioned objectives is proposed, since the exergy depends on the choice of a state of reference.
