N2 - Pinch technology is a familiar energy-saving technology in the chemical industries and has been incorporated in the process simulation software, however the skilled engineers' considerations are required to make preferable heat exchanger networks (HEN). We introduced a multiagent oriented simulation framework into the HEN design to save the energy usage and also reduce the CO2 emissions. In our framework, a number of "HEN design agents" have their own strategies to optimize HEN respectively. In this paper, we show the effectiveness of our framework applying to two chemical processes.
