The importance of energy crisis and global warming
necessitates to present strategies in order to decrease
the amount of emissions as well as fuel consumption in
large and complex industries such as refining and
petrochemical. In this paper, the steam network in
Tehran oil refinery is selected as a case study, after
simulation and optimization of the steam network the
best scenario is selected regarding to minimum total
annualized cost with considering minimum carbon
dioxide reduction. From the exergy analysis it can be
notified that the main parts of Exergy losses occurs in
the boilers in the exist model. In the best scenario that
is selected with considering different functions, the
amount of exergy losses decrease significantly because
of retrofit in the steam generation sources as well as
variation of the types of fuel consumption. The final
results are: decrease the amount of exergy destruction
in the retrofit scenarios consequently, reduce total
annualized cost as well as reduce carbon dioxide
emission.
