A simple sequential approach for designing industrial wastewater treatment networks

Synthesis of batch water network for a brewery plant

“…This includes the chemical industry [8,[18][19][20][21][22][23], oil refineries [2,[24][25][26], pulp and paper mills [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], the textile industry [38][39][40][41], and food and beverage plants [42][43][44][45]. Most of them deal with water integration in continuous processes, with the exception of batch applications in the textile industry, agrochemical plants [18], and the application in polyvinyl chloride resins manufacturing plant [8] (which operates in mixed batch and in continuous mode).…”

Economic use of renewable resources, LCA, cleaner batch processes and minimising emissions and wastewater

“…Gennadiy Statyukha, Olexandr Kvitka, Iryna Dzhygyrey from the National Technical University of Ukraine, Department of Cybernetics of Chemical Technology Processes, Kyiv, and Jacek Je_ zowski from Rzeszów University of Technology, Poland, Department of Chemical Engineering and Process Control prepared a paper dealing with waste water minimisation, titled ''A simple sequential approach for designing industrial wastewater treatment networks'' [17]. They targeted better design of wastewater treatment network (WWTN) by hybrid approach.…”

Optimum Design of Waste Water Treatment Network

“…However, such a method cannot guarantee the optimality. Statyukha et al 13 proposed a hybrid approach for designing waste water treatment networks. Recently, Tan et al 14 and Ng et al 15 have proposed superstructure model and automated targeting, respectively, for synthesizing water networks with partitioning treatment units.…”
