CONCLUSIONS
Aspens Activated Energy Analysis can be a very practical and
effective tool to rapidly optimize new processes.
Heat integration plays a key role, specially in early stages, where
there is much room for process optimization.
Having the tool inside the simulator made the analysis less time
consuming.

Aspens Activated Energy Analysis supports go/no go decisions

regarding new conceptual processes
