In recent years, Pinch analysis has been extended beyond energy applications.

Water Pinch Analysis has recently been applied for urban/domestic buildings.

Pinch temperature, the key point in a process when using pinch analysis techniques to minimise energy use.

A commonly used, free pinch analysis program is PinchLeni.

Another established technique for maximum water recovery is the water pinch analysis technique.

The key concepts of Pinch Analysis were developed in his MSc.

Alves developed the hydrogen pinch analysis approach based on the concept of heat pinch analysis in 1999.

Most process integration techniques employ Pinch analysis or Pinch Tools to evaluate several processes as a whole system.

Review of process integration and pinch analysis by Nick Hallale (University of Manchester)

This definition reflects the fact that the first major success for process integration was the thermal pinch analysis addressing energy problems and pioneered by Linnhoff and co-workers.

Water pinch analysis (WPA) originates from the concept of heat pinch analysis.

Bodo Linnhoff (born 1948) is a chemical engineer and entrepreneur who developed Pinch Analysis, a technique for minimizing energy usage in the process industries.

Pinch analysis is a methodology for minimising energy consumption of chemical processes by calculating minimum energy consumption and by optimising heat recovery systems etc.

To determine maximum water recovery there are various techniques that have been developed by researchers; for maximum water reuse/reclamation/recovery strategies such as water pinch analysis.

Pinch analysis, a technique for designing a process to minimise energy consumption and maximise heat recovery, also known as heat integration, energy integration or pinch technology.

Hydrogen pinch analysis (HPA) is a hydrogen management method that originates from the concept of heat pinch analysis.

The WMH was used as an effective screening tool in cost effective minimum water network methodology to stretch the limits of water savings beyond those achievable using conventional pinch analysis approach.

In practice, during the pinch analysis of an existing design, often cross-pinch exchanges of heat are found between a hot stream with its temperature above the pinch and a cold stream below the pinch.
