Industrial Water Conservation

Industrial Water Conservation: Systematic Design Tools and Case Studies offers fundamental knowledge of various established process integration tools for water conservation, including water pinch analysis and mathematical programming techniques. The book provides a demonstration of water conservation tools on various industrial case studies, enabling readers to learn how these methods can be implemented in actual industrial settings. Part A provides various systematic methods on water recovery system design based on process integration techniques, whereas Part B provides various industrial case studies covering the success stories of the implementation of the methods covered in Part A. This is an indispensable resource for practitioners in various industrial sectors - chemicals and petrochemicals, pulp and paper, food and beverage, textile, etc., consultants in water-related industries, as well as (post)-graduate students in chemical engineering.
