Synthesis of non-isothermal water networks consisting of water-usage, wastewater
treatment, and heat exchanger networks has been recognised as an active research field in …

The pulp and paper industry is highly energy-intensive. In mills that use chemical pulping,
roughly half of the higher heating value of the cellulosic material used to manufacture the …

The establishment of eco-industrial parks (EIPs) is an effective approach to developing
industrial symbiosis in which plants of different entities could reduce waste production …

This paper presents an extension of our recent work, in which we addressed the
simultaneous synthesis of heat-integrated water networks. The novelty and goal of this work …

The paper is targeted to provide an overview of the main achievements and ideas presented
at PRES conferences. The conference history is now reaching its first 20 y–from 1998 to …

Pulp and paper mills receive much attention from environmentalist and authority due to their
impact on natural resources, particularly in water and energy consumption. Many research …

A simultaneous approach to maximize profit, while minimizing waste through source
reduction with the implementation of multiobjective optimization with process simulation is …

In the present work a brief literature review focusing the analysis of water systems in the pulp
and paper industry is presented and the Water Sources Diagram (WSD) method is applied …

A novel sequential approach is developed in this work to identify alternative heat-integrated
WUNs with four mathematical programming models. The proposed synthesis method can be …

Gas conditioning tower (GCT) is a vital equipment in cement industries. The main principle
in this equipment is evaporative cooling, ie reducing the temperature of the hot flue gas by …
