In a crude palm oil refinery plant, 20 to 30 % of the production cost is made up of energy. High energy consumption of hot and cold utility will increase the production costs as well as release more Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere due to higher consumption of fuels such as diesel, polluting the environment eventually. This study presents a combined method for heat integration and fuel switching for energy recovery and CO2 emission reduction in a palm oil refinery plant. A mathematical model is developed by using General Algebra Modeling System (GAMS) to simultaneously synthesize energy recovery and CO2 emission reduction via heat integration and fuel switching process. The model will be analyzed under three different operating modes, namely economic mode, environmental mode and integrated mode. The application of this approach resulted that the introduction of heat integration reduces 92.3 percent of hot utility and 67.9 percent of cold utility. Also, the combination of heat integration and fuel switching reduced 92.3 percent of energy consumption, 93.9 percent of operational cost and 96.9 percent of CO2 emission reduction. Payback period for the implementation of heat integration or/and fuel switching process was less than 2 years zulaihi UTM 164 p.
