Abstract	Excessive energy consumption is one of the greatest challenges for process industries. Due to the oil crisis in the 1970s, heat integration became more important among the chemical industries. Particularly, the process for producing the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) presents a great potential for heat recovery. This work analyzes the heat integration opportunities of a VCM production plant proposed by Seider and co-workers (2008). The methodology of this work was based on the concepts of Pinch Analysis, developed with the purpose of synthesizing heat exchanger networks (HEN) that lead to the minimum energy consumption and the minimum number of units, respecting the thermodynamic limits. Therefore, energy recovery opportunities were identified and two suggestions of HEN were presented, quantifying the reduction of hot and cold utilities and comparing them with the consumption of the original process. The results obtained were promising, showing the possibility of an energy saving up to 33%
