“…Equations (13)(14)(15) associate the existence of a potential corridor pc in region r, to its existence as a connectivity option within all selected routes that incorporate potential corridor additions, for each of the source-to-sink, source-to-waste, and fresh-to-sink water allocations, respectively.…”

Studies involving the design of interplant water networks have received significant attention over the past few years. Many methods have been developed to assist in obtaining efficient water reuse network design schemes, mainly using fundamental concepts of water integration. Our recent work has presented the importance of considering spatial constraints in the form of utility corridor availability, when identifying cost‐effective interplant water network arrangements in industrial zones (Alnouri et al., [2014]: Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy 16, 1637–1659). This article extends the scope of our previous work by enabling the identification of new corridor locations, which could potentially be used alongside existing utility infrastructure. We present an optimization framework that allows unutilized areas of land within industrial zones to be sectioned off and added as optional transportation channels, together with existing utility corridor regions, in the course of attaining cost‐effective interplant water network designs. The methodology entails that identification of optimal wastewater reuse schemes among various processing entities, by exploring options for enhanced utility corridors. As an illustration, several cases that utilize an assumed layout for an industrial zone have been carried out, in which a number of unutilized regions of land were identified to exist. Several opportunities that allow for potential corridor additions onto existing corridor infrastructure, through the exploitation of unutilized regions of land within the plot, were explored. A number of improvements in the water network designs obtained are highlighted for the different case scenarios that have been investigated, using the proposed approach. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 1492–1511, 2016

“…Poplewski et al [14] employed a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model that is capable of exploring various water network performance indices, by specifying certain conditions on continuous variables and network topology. Much of work discussed above involves the design of water networks in a single processing facility.…”

“…Source 7 in plant B sends 226 t/h of water to sink 1 in plant A, while source 3 in plant A sends 11.6 t/h of water to sink 6 in plant Depending on case-specific details (e.g., geographic distance separating the plants or process stream stability), there may be significant advantages in having a simpler network such as the one in Figure 3, including improved robustness and operability or lower capital costs. 3,37,[40][41][42][43]47 ' CONCLUSIONS A fuzzy mathematical programming model has been developed for the design of source-sink water allocation networks with parametric uncertainties in the quality level of source streams, the quality tolerances of stream sinks, and in all the streamflow rates. The resulting model is an NLP (or MINLP if topological constraints are included) and has been demonstrated on three case studies adapted from literature, involving concentration-based water network design (with and without topological constraints) and property-based interplant water integration.…”

Source-sink problems occur in various process systems engineering applications, such as the design of water reuse systems and resource conservation networks. Such problems may be solved using alternative approaches, including graphical pinch analysis and linear programming. In most cases, it is normally assumed that the stream flow rates and quality levels are deterministic. This paper presents a fuzzy mathematical programming model for the synthesis of water networks when the model parameters exhibit fuzzy uncertainties. The modeling approach is illustrated for three water network case studies adapted from literature. These illustrative examples cover concentration-and property-based stream quality indices, as well as single-and multiple-plant water integration.

“…Designing water networks refers to allocate the streams of the networks between several units while respecting constraints and satisfying objectives. Water allocation problems (WAP) were widely studied during the last decades due to the growing interest for sustainable development in industries (de Faria and de Souza, 2009; Kumaraprasad and Muthukumar, 2009;Klemes et al, 2010;Poplewski et al, 2010). Linear formulations implemented for maximizing water regeneration and reuse into industrial processes has been first developed in a lot of previous works (Bagajewicz and Savelski, 2001;El-Halwagi, 1997;El-Halwagi et al, 2004;Wang and Smith, 1994).…”
