The solution of the problems of increasing energy efficiency at the enterprises of the energy industry is largely due to the competent organization of modern methods of water treatment, which are one of the main units in the technological chain in the production of thermal and electrical energy. Improvement of water treatment technology can be considered as one of the directions of implementation of energy-saving measures at energy facilities. An important task is the introduction of energy-efficient methods of water treatment at thermal stations, including the method of desalination of water. There are the methods of water treatment using instant boiling evaporators, which make it possible to obtain desalinated water for steam boilers in this paper. The efficiency of the proposed water treatment system at a thermal station is shown.

“…Figure 2 presents an ABRM scheme. Figure 3 shows the advantages and disadvantages of ABRM in comparison with other types of refrigerating machines that are used at production facilities [9][10][11]. Taking into account the weaknesses and strengths, ABRM have become widespread in the organization of trigeneration systems (joint production of cold, heat and electricity), as well as in systems for the utilization of thermal secondary energy resources.…”

Compressed air is widely used as an energy carrier. The compressed air production systems are a part of the auxiliary systems of offsite facilities. It is worth noting that the production of com-pressed air is quite an energy-intensive process, so the potential for energy saving is quite large. There is increasing the efficiency of the compressed air production by developing technology solutions for air preparation in this work. The system of air drying by cooling and the source of cold are considered in this paper. The paper presents a comparison of cooling systems from steam compression and absorption refrigerating machines from the point of view of heat exchange, energy consumption for their own needs, providing cold with required parameters. The economic effect of the proposed circuit solution is given.

“…According to the findings of the numerous programs used to analyze the operation of steam traps, the distribution network's steam traps cause around 20% of the steam exiting a boiler to be lost [6]. Vigorous steam traps would reduce steam losses considerably [7]. Infrared thermography [8] and wireless smart sensors [9] are two methods for monitoring steam traps.…”

Steam, which is primarily employed as a heat transfer medium in process plants, is one of the most widely utilized energy carriers in the industrial sector. One of the factors that affects the cost of steam is how well the condensate collection, steam supply, and return systems of industrial steam systems perform. In a case study, the steam systems of a natural gas processing plant were simulated. The amount of demineralized water loss and, consequently, the identification of various solutions to improve the system were analyzed. The whole steam system was simulated using the MEASUR software platform (v 1.2), and by placing the operational information of the steam system, it was possible to create a baseline for the system, model saving solutions, and finally, provide a technical and economic evaluation of the solutions. Due to the high loss of steam condensate in the SRU steam system (more than 3000 kg per hour), solutions to improve the energy efficiency of the SRU steam system in the form of a maximum recovery of steam condensate (replacement of defective steam traps, redesign of the low-pressure condensate collection network, and high-pressure waste condensate collection) were evaluated with two price assumptions of current energy prices and real prices (the energy saving value of one cubic meter of natural gas is equal to 13 cents). The results show that, for current prices, the investment return period will be between 11.8 and 3.8 months. Moreover, in the main steam system of the refinery (unit 9200), there are three solutions: replacing and repairing defective steam traps, installing an expansion turbine instead of a steam pressure relief valve (PRV), and other solutions (including increasing boiler efficiency, automatic control of the boiler, and energy recovery boiler blowdown) under two price assumptions, the current and real prices of natural gas and demineralized water, were evaluated, and the modeling results show that the investment return period for each of the above solutions at the current prices is 10.2, 186, and 13.3, respectively. The investment return period is based on assuming real fuel and BFW prices are equal to 2.0, 37.6, and 1.7, respectively.
