ITUS Full Form

What is the full form of ITUS?

The complete form of ITUS is the Integrated Thermal Utility System. This system increases the energy efficiency of every energy-dependent piece of equipment and reduces its cost. This system is eco-friendly. The ITUS started in the 1960s and has operated for more than 60 years. The ITUS process is transferred directly from one process stream to the other in a single heat exchanger, and the two streams need to be close to each other without any danger if the streams mix in case of a leak.

Stages And Working Of ITUS

• The ITUS system technique works in a sequence.

• In the first stage, the technology is optimized.

• In the second stage, the heating procedure is integrated when the optimal steam conditions, like flow rate and temperature, are identified.

Uses Of an Integrated Thermal Utility System

• An integrated thermal utility system is used in energy-related applications such as carbon capture in power plants.

• An integrated thermal utility system is also used in a distillation column.

• In refineries, the heat from several streams is preheated to be utilized through ITUS.

• In preheating, chlorine dioxide and mill water are used in chemical pulp mills.

• In preheating, feed gas and naphtha into steam reformers.

• Column integration in multistage distillation.
