Abstract
MiRO requires heat for many processes. To use the heat energy efficiently, the feed product, e.g. crude oil, is at first preheated in heat exchangers with the aid of hot effluent product streams (gas oils) and then heated to operating temperature in process furnaces. Before the product can then be stored in a tank, it must be cooled by air or water coolers (final cooling). This generates waste heat with temperatures of up to 130 °C which could not be used in any profitable way in the refinery so far and was therefore released into the environment unused.
