最小化新鲜水量与废水处理量的图形方法

水分配网络由回用、再生和废水处理3个相互作用的子系统构成。设计水分配网络需考虑质量负荷固定和流量固定两类用水操作模型。目前,兼顾两类用水操作的图形方法对水分配网络的研究局限于一个或两个子系统的设计,而缺少一种能同时处理3个子系统的方法。本文用新的方法合成了反映用水网络水源盈亏情况的总组合曲线,并由此得到最小废水量和新鲜水量。为考虑废水再生情况,提出通过用再生水线和废水线合成废水排放线的方法求解再生情况下的最小新鲜水量。同时,根据总组合曲线得到了废水组合曲线,求得最小废水处理量。实例表明,本文所提方法可在具体网络设计前,在同一浓度-质量负荷图中确定单杂质水分配网络的各目标参数,且简便易行。

Water network design with stochastic optimization approach

Water network (called also water allocation) problem has been addressed in more than 200 papers to date – see recent reviews by Je?owski (2010) and Foo (2009). Though various solution methods have been developed they all have some limitations. This paper addresses water usage network with regeneration processes. Multiple contaminants and two types of water using processes are taken into regard. Simultaneous one stage optimization method was developed to synthesize the network. In order to solve complex MINLP formulation we propose to apply meta-heuristic optimization – adaptive random search method.The paper contains detailed solution algorithm. Several examples with specific features are solved to show efficiency and flexibility of the approach.     

Synthesis of robust water reuse networks for single-component retrofit problems using symmetric fuzzy linear programming

Water integration techniques can be used to minimize the utility water consumption and effluent generation of process plants through the implementation of reuse or recycle networks. There are a number of graphical and mathematical programming techniques available for the synthesis of such water reuse networks. However, effective use of these methods requires the availability of reliable process data, which in reality might be difficult to acquire. This paper describes a procedure for the synthesis of robust water reuse networks from imprecise data using symmetric fuzzy linear programming (SFLP). Two model variants, one based on mass exchange units and the other on source/sink allocation, are presented. Each variant is illustrated with a numerical example.     

通过流股的合理合并改进用水网络的能量效率

Water-using operations in the process industry have demands for water usually both on water quality and temperature, and the existing mathematical models of heat exchange networks cannot guarantee the energy performance of a water network optimal. In this paper, the effects of non-isothermal merging on energy performance of water allocation networks are analyzed, which include utility consumption, total heat exchange load, and number of heat exchange matches. Three principles are proposed to express the effects of non-isothermal merging on energy performance of water allocation networks. A rule of non-isothermal merging without increasing utility consumption is deduced. And an approach to improve energy performance of water allocation network is presented. A case study is given to demonstrate the method.     

Application of water pinch technology in minimization of water consumption at a refinery

Water is the most significant entity that controls local and global development. The present research involves property integration technique, graphical and mathematical; to first establish accurate targets for maximum direct recycle of process sources, as well as minimum waste discharge and fresh water consumption at an oil refinery. Property-based water allocation network is designed for the process based on previously identified targets. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and hardness properties are taken as pollutants (contaminants) and treated as single and double contaminant approach to dig out fresh water demand in the process. Both graphical and mathematical programming techniques exhibit the same water reduction of 149.0 m³/h (43.8%) and 208.0 m³/h (61.18%) for COD and hardness case, respectively, in single contaminant approach. While, a new double contaminant mathematical programming has shown a significant reduction of 39%, based on mixing rules of properties. Among the multiple water networks, one possible water allocation network is developed based on mass exchange.     

Synthesis of water networks for industrial parks considering inter-plant allocation

Since an industrial park is a cluster of multiple company individuals, there is requirement to develop specific reuse strategies so as to improve the utilization of resources across plants. This article presents a ‘plant-based’ mode respecting to the water allocation problem within industrial parks. In the mode, mixers and splitters are involved to present the mixing, conveying and splitting operations for reusing streams across plants. Such that, the mixing possibilities can also be investigated and many redundant solutions can be avoided by considering the number limit of inter-plant stream connections at the building stage of network superstructures. On base of this mode, both direct and mixed (direct–indirect) integration scenarios are studied in this study. Superstructures are established and mathematically formulated aiming to minimum fresh water consumption as well as the total annualized cost. At last, three integration cases are explored based on an example from literature for illustration.     

Simultaneous integration of water and energy in heat‐integrated water allocation networks

This article proposes a new methodology for simultaneous integration of water and energy in heat‐integrated water allocation networks (WAHEN). A novel disjunctive model is first developed to determine an optimal water allocation network (WAN) where water and energy are integrated in one step. Based on the optimal WAN, a detailed heat exchanger network (HEN) to satisfy the utility target is then synthesized. Although the final network structure is obtained through two steps, the targets of freshwater and utility are optimized simultaneously. The proposed method has specific advantages. First of all, it can capture a tradeoff among freshwater usage, utility consumption, and direct heat transfer by nonisothermal mixing. Second, it can greatly reduce the complexity of subsequent HEN design. Finally, it is effective for simultaneous water and energy integration in large‐scale WAHEN systems. The advantages and applicability of this new method are illustrated by three examples from literature. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 2202–2214, 2015

A stepwise optimal design of water network☆

In order to take full advantage of regeneration process to reduce fresh water consumption and avoid the accumu-lation of trace contaminants, regeneration reuse and regeneration recycle should be distinctive. A stepwise opti-mal design for water network is developed to simplify solution procedures for the formulated MINLP problem. In this paper, a feasible water reuse network framework is generated. Some heuristic rules from water reuse net-work are used to guide the placement of regeneration process. Then the outlet stream of regeneration process is considered as new water source. Regeneration reuse network structure is obtained through an iterative optimal procedure by taking the insights from reuse water network structure. Furthermore, regeneration recycle is only utilized to eliminate fresh water usage for processes in which regeneration reuse is impossible. Compared with the results obtained by relevant researches for the same example, the present method not only provides an appro-priate regeneration reuse water network with minimum fresh water and regenerated water flow rate but also sug-gests a water network involving regeneration recycle with minimum recycle water flow rate. The design can utilize reuse, regeneration reuse and regeneration recycle step by step with minor water network structure change to achieve better flexibility. It can satisfy different demands for new plants and modernization of existing plants. ? 2016 The Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China, and Chemical Industry Press.

Optimization-based method for calculating water networks with user specified characteristics

This paper addresses problem of designing water usage network that consists of fixed flow rate water using processes. A design method is founded on the solution of mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model of network superstructure. The application of optimization to solve basic formulation of network synthesis has been reported in some works. However, this approach applies certain extensions of the standard formulation that allow accounting for several industrial scenarios. In particular, it is possible to apply various performance indices and imposing conditions on continuous variables as well as on network topology. Multiple contaminant case is easily accounted for. At least but not at last, the method is able to generate several solutions of identical values of major performance indices but of different structure and other features. All these possibilities are available within single optimization framework. Several examples are given to illustrate advantages of the approach.
