Abstract
This thesis presents a mathematical model for the inter-plant water integration of an
industrial complex that consists of a number of process plants. Opportunities for water
reuse/recycle across plants are exploited. In particular, a novel integration scheme is
proposed, where central and decentralized water mains are placed to interconnect different plants and various process units within individual plants, respectively. The main advantage of using these water mains is to enhance network practicability. The model formulation is based on superstructures, and the system is designed according to two objectives including the minimization of fresh water consumption and total annualized cost. An example is solved to illustrate the proposed scheme and approach.
