Abstract: •An extension of the Heat Integration to achieve energy saving for a process.•A method for retrofitting an existing natural gas purification process.•Heat exchanger networks and tower operating variables are optimised for energy.•A two-stage method integrated the PSO and an SRTGD-based model solving algorithm.•A case study is given to demonstrate the developed method.
