	%X Owing to extensive use of hydrogen in refining or
petrochemical units, it is essential to manage hydrogen network in
order to make the most efficient utilization of hydrogen. On the other
hand, hydrogen is an important byproduct not properly used through
petrochemical complexes and mostly sent to the fuel system. A few
works have been reported in literature to improve hydrogen network
for petrochemical complexes. In this study a comprehensive analysis
is carried out on petrochemical units using a modified automated
targeting technique which is applied to determine the minimum
hydrogen consumption. Having applied the modified targeting
method in two petrochemical cases, the results showed a significant
reduction in required fresh hydrogen.
