Simultaneous optimization of water and energy within integrated water networks

Water and energy integration: A comprehensive literature review of non-isothermal water network synthesis

“…Additionally, multiple contaminant problems should be considered for having more realistic cases. Several papers Bogataj and Bagajewicz, 2008;Chen et al, 2010b;Ibrić et al, 2014a; published in the literature have addressed these issues but the small and medium size problems were only solved due to the complexities of the overall synthesis problem. New solution strategies and tools are required for solving large-scale water, wastewater, and heat exchanger networks simultaneously due to expensive computational costs, which could be a possible future direction in this field.…”

“…However, the complexity of the overall synthesis problem is increased, and special solution strategies are required in order to solve this problem. The authors in , Dong et al (2008), Bogataj and Bagajewicz (2008), and Ibrić et al (2014a) have proposed different superstructures to address these syntheses problems. In general, superstructures include water-using units (process units), wastewater treatment units, heat transfer units, splitters, and mixers.…”

“…Mathematical programming Combined approach Ataei et al (2009a) Fixed removal ratio in treatment units Dong et al (2008), Bogataj and Bagajewicz (2008), Zhou et al (2012a,b), Yang and Grossmann (2013), Ibrić et al (2013bIbrić et al ( , 2014a, results in terms of cost could be achieved of about 35% by applying water and heat integration embedded within the scheduling frameworks and solved simultaneously. Finally, it is important to highlight that Seid and Majozi (2014) also presented a comprehensive literature review regarding this research field.…”

“…Accordingly, different synthesis concepts have been reported within the literature in order to address the synthesis problem of non-isothermal WNs, namely, heat-integrated water-using networks (HIWNs) and heat-integrated water-using and wastewater treatment networks (HIWTNs) Ibrić et al, 2014a). Also note that synthesis concepts based on state-space (Bagajewicz, 2000;Dong et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2014), sourcedemand or source-sink Jiménez-Gutiérrez et al, 2014), and multi-scale state-space (Zhou et al, 2012a,b) representation have been applied for synthesising WNs.…”

Design of a water allocation and energy network for multi-contaminant problems using multi-objective optimization

“…The WAN optimization is a complex task, especially when multiple contaminants are treated in the same plant with particular emphasis on selecting the use of many regeneration units. The existence of several contaminants has been identified in many works (Takama et al, 1980;Wang and Smith, 1994;Bagajewicz et al, 2000;Gunaratnam et al, 2005;Karuppiah and Grossmann, 2006;Alva-Argáez et al, 2007;Feng et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2008;Leewongtanawit and Kim, 2008;Kim et al, 2009;Tudor and Lavric, 2011;Poplewski et al, 2011;Hu et al, 2011;Boix et al, 2011;Ahmetović and Kravanja, 2013;Deng et al, 2013;Hou et al, 2014;Ibrić et al, 2014;De-León Almaraz et al, 2015;Yan et al, 2016a), some of these works involve not only WAN but also HEN optimization. However, the water treatment or recycling in the network has been considered in fewer works (Takama et al, 1980;Gunaratnam et al, 2005;Karuppiah and Grossmann, 2006;Feng et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2008;Poplewski et al, 2011;Boix et al, 2011;Tudor and Lavric, 2011;Ibrić et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2014).…”
