Abstract:

The production of various energy outputs and other useful secondary by-products from one or more energy inputs is known as polygeneration. The application of polygeneration schemes implies a high degree of Process Integration. This is particularly the case when various utility services are provided from a single source; for instance, when using a waste stream as fuel, energy can be extracted via combustion; then steam can be raised and used for process heating, power production and even process cooling. When only heating ...
