Abstract—The industrial application of detailed heat integration to a Di Ethyl Thiophosphoryl Chloride (DETC) plant has been addressed using Pinch design method. The calculated minimum energy targets are found to be very close to utility loads demanded by the existing process. This analysis shows that present plant is well integrated and small saving in energy was observed through a process-to-process energy integration. Alternatively, the retrofit study provides a general guideline for better placement and proper utilization of available utilities.
