ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a means for reducing the energy consumed by thermally activated separation processes such as fractional distillation. This is done by recovering at least part of the reject heat from such processes and upgrading it for recycle back to input heat. The upgrading is accomplished by another low temperature source of heat which may also be the separation process reject heat. A simple and reliable heat pump using the reverse absorption principle is incorporated in the separation process to accomplish this upgrading.
