Heat Exchanger Rating & Pinch Energy Integration

Thermal-Hydraulic Design in Aspen EDR, Fouling Mitigation & Pinch Analysis

I perform rigorous thermal-hydraulic exchanger ratings in Aspen EDR and Pinch Analysis to eliminate cross-pinch losses, evaluate heat recovery networks, and calculate severe fouling cost penalties before they force furnace shutdowns.
