viable. As stated in reference 1: "With over 52 percent of the total technical market and more than 67 percent of the total economic market for all six industry groups, the petroleum industry has the largest amount of low-grade waste energy ,of all industries analyzed and has the greatest number of applications for aRC units" *Numbers in brackets designate references at end of the paper. It is believed that the use of aRC systems by U.S. industry, and the accrual of national energy conserva­ tion benefits, will be accelerated by a concerted effort to develop systems uniquely adapted to the conditions found in the petroleum and chemical industries. This paper presents the results of such an effort. MAGNITUDE OF WASTE HEAT STREAMS IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY The petroleum industry has been identified to have the largest quantify of available waste heat for aRC applications. The next step is to determine the size and nature of waste heat streams which could constitute specific applications. The study of reference 1 offers further guidance in this area, summarized in Table 2. TABLE 2 WASTE HEAT SOURCES IN PETROLEUM REFINING (Data from Ref. 1) I ESL-IE-81-04-90I I I This potential market could be best and most econJ­ mically served by a single aRC system design whic~ could provide high efficiency over the entire range of power and source temperature. A product desig~ with this capability within a single machinery frl'me size may be difficult to achieve, but should be adopted as a design objective. More detailed definition of sources is available from a Gulf Research & Development cribes the "energy profile" The refinery analyzed is a relatively modern one ' with a nominal capacity of 200,000 bbl/day. ,i The energy output or losses presented in referenc~ 2 for the refinery as a whole are summarized inTablb 3. (These data represent thermal energy above a refet­ ence level of 600F).

System NOTE: G=gaseous; C=Condensible Vapor; L=liquid The data of Table 2 define preliminary ranges for two design criteria for aRC systems, i.e.: 00 heat source temperature: 250 F - 300 F system size range: 750 kW - 5000 kW average system size: 2066 kW Waste heat that is potentially available for ORC~eat recovery/conversion systems is indicated by Figur 1. Approximately 830 MM BTU/hr of waste heat is reco ­ erable above 2000 F and below 4000 F, from fluids t at are presently cooled by air or water. If only 65 percent of this waste heat could be rejected to t e working fluid of aRC systems having a thermal eff'­ ciency of only 10 percent, almost 16 MW of electr c power could be generated. This would constitute " half of the total electric power required by the refinery. ' ! Additional data were given in reference 2 identifting heat available for recovery from air- and water- I cooled process streams within specific sub-units i of the refinery. Using these data, an approximate estimate was made of the aRC heat recovery systems that could potentially be applied in a 200,000 bbl/ day refinery. These are summarized in Table 4. 517 1794 1941 732 1685 3559 4700 1031 1087 Table 3 shows that 55 percent of the total energyl input to the refinery is discharged as waste heatt Proceedings from the Third Industrial Energy Technology Conference Houston, TX, April 26-29, 1981 through air- and water-cooled heat exchangers.
