(191c) Large Scale Industrial Waste Heat-to-Power/Cogeneration: A Case Study

The benefits and challenges of a large scale industrial waste heat-to-power/cogeneration facility are presented in this case study of the Port Arthur Steam Energy Project. The project recovers 2000⁰F flue gas energy from a petroleum coke calcining plant and converts it to 350,000 lb/hr of steam and 5MW power which are provided to a neighboring refinery, the host plant and the utility grid. The project is a great example of industrial cooperation and energy efficiency, with the capability of offsetting 159,000 tons CO2 annually.
