SuperTarget

KBC Energy and Utilities Software to Optimise Heat Integration

ith current oil prices, energy conservation remains

a prime concern for many process industries.
SuperTarget is software built to reduce energy for
processes and sites through better design. This is
achieved through the application of pinch analysis to
issues concerning energy use, utility systems and power
generation.
SuperTarget is the original pinch analysis software from
KBC, proven in over 100 designs and retrofits over the
last 20 years.

BENEFITS

Lower energy consumption (average of 10-35%)

Reduced CO2 emissions
Obtain higher return on capital investment
Reduce load on cooling systems
Increase throughput (average of 10-20% - where
energy is the bottleneck)

These benefits are realised through targeted capital

investment identified using the many targeting and
network design tools available in SuperTarget. Typical
paybacks are 2-3 years, but they can be as low as one
year for simple re-piping projects.

RAPID DESIGN & RETROFIT

SuperTarget has automated tools for both grass roots and
retrofit heat exchanger network design, which are backed
up by multi-case data handling and continuous targeting
throughout the design cycle. Continuous targeting gives
a true picture of savings and potential.

SuperTarget answers your key questions:

How much energy does my process use?
Where are the inefficiencies in the design?
What improvements can be made?

SUPERTARGET AND PROCESS SIMULATORS

SuperTarget can take exchanger and stream property
data directly from commercial process simulators,
including Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express from KBC.
Simulation data is transferred at the touch of a button for
use within SuperTarget.
