| Summary: | Water management has become a very vital issue for process engineers because of the stringent environmental regulation. A systematic study of water saving opportunities in process industries is conducted in this research using process integration approach (specifically water pinch analysis as a tool). Within this work, reuse/recycle and regeneration-reuse/recycle schemes are considered. Moreover, a special attention is given to the threshold problems. To facilitate these studies, MATLAB has been employed as a programming tool. |
