Abstract

On this paper, ORC thermal efficiency increased 22.54%, ORC utilization increased 22.79%, and ORC Exergetic efficiency increased 22.78% from the HMB design. Author has analysis to change the specification of Feed Pump, and additional Preheater, result analysis, when increasing n-pentane flow rate and saturation temperature, the heat (Q) flowing into the reinjection well decreased from 52502.9 kW to 23488.17 kW, and exergy destruction decreased from 28536 kW to 20427 kW where this exergy injected into the reinjection well, means that some energy and exergy has been utilized before being flowed into the reinjection system. On the Turbine, increase in Gross Power (WTurbine) 25.40% with gross power modification 17418 kW from Gross Power 13890 kW and increase net power 15102 kW and 12050 kW. In the ACHE, increase heat (Q) 27.10% from 76030 kW to 96633 kW which need to cool n-pentane, increase in heat (Q) followed by increasing in power Fan motor 14.66% where the air flow rate increases from 218798 ACFM to 294442 ACFM which need to cooled n-pentane. The power of the Feed pump increases 31.69% to 1600 kW from 1215 kW, this is because change in impeller diameter causes an increase in flowrate, pressure and motor power need to rotate the pump. On the Recuperator there is decrease in work (Q) 47.93%, this is because heating n-pentane to reach saturation temperature assisted by the presence of an additional preheater.
