The objective of this survey is to collect relative information and data related to the use of separation systems in chemical and processing industry sectors. The survey is conducted as part of the IEA-Annex IX on Energy Efficient Separation Systems, an international collaboration carried under the auspices of IEA-IETS implementing agreement (http://iea-industry.org/annex9/). The information will be used to identify future research needs and technology development for improving energy efficiency of separation systems. The survey is planned to take about 15-20 minutes of time and we appreciate very much your cooperation and collaboration in this.
Part 1. General Information
Part 2. Technical Information about Separation Systems
1. Please indicate which of below industrial sector your company belongs:
2. Can you indicate which of the following energy sources are used and their relative fraction?
3. Considering the annual energy consumption for a production site/plant, on average what is the relative fraction of the energy consumption that is attributed to (or used by) the separation tasks?
4. Considering a production site/plant in your company for which you have information about, can you indicate which separation equipments/processes are used and on what is their relative usage in separation task (e.g. about 50% of separation tasks uses distillation column):
