Abstrakt: This article discusses how a steam screw-rotor machine (SSRM) can be introduced as an energy-saving measure at chemical plants. The difference between a SSRM and traditional blade steam turbine installations is also shown. It is proposed that SSRMs be introduced into the thermal circuits of the chemical plants in parallel with the existing pressure reduction and desuperheating station (PRDS) 30/16 and PRDS 15/8 to make it possible to use the potential energy of steam. Passing through the SSRM, the steam decreases its pressure to the required parameters and is then directed to the technological needs of the enterprise. This additionally generates electrical energy that can be used for the plant's own needs. Based on the calculation results, it is proposed that two SSRMs with a capacity of 1.4 and 1.6 MW be installed. This technical solution will make it possible to generate about 20 GW of electricity per year for the plant's own needs. The payback period of the project will be 5.5 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
