Basic process data on the potential for low level waste heat recovery in the petroleum refining and selected chemical industries of the West South Central United States
Basic process data for the petroleum refining and selected chemical industries in the West South Central United States are compiled. The data is intended to provide a basis for subsequent study of the potential for heat pump applications to waste heat recovery in these industries. Nine petroleum refining processes and three chemical processes are analyzed in the report. Applicable information from related literature is presented, and comparisons are drawn to data obtained from four sample chemical plants and two sample petroleum refineries of the West South Central region. General conclusions are difficult to draw due to the variety of these industries, but considerations are presented to aid in assessment of proposed specific heat pump applications.
