Extreme events cause significant damage and disruption to the manufacturing sector,
associated supply chains, and adjacent communities. These disastrous shocks may include …

The circular economy has attracted considerable attention also in relation to water, an
indispensable element to the sustainment of life and a critical input resource for the world …

A novel environmental friendly and hydrophilic terpolymer with the sulfonic group and ether
group was synthesized by maleic anhydride (MA), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic …

Cooling towers are widely used in chemical industries to cool water with ambient air that is
susceptible to weather changes not only during the day, but also during the year, resulting in …

To optimize the uneven distribution of flow field in the mechanical draft cooling towers, four
cases for deflector plates are proposed. Based on the analysis of the velocity and …

The concept of synthesizing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (C‐H‐O) SYmbiosis Networks
(CHOSYNs) for the design of eco‐industrial parks is introduced. Within a CHOSYN …

This paper presents a procedure for simultaneously handling the problem of optimal
integration of regenerative organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) with overall processes. ORCs …

In this paper, a new superstructure for heat integration of an eco-industrial park is proposed.
Intra and inter-plant heat exchange for the process streams is allowed. For a proper reuse of …

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in cooling water systems to transport cooling water to its
users. They are installed in the header line of the feed pipe, constituting a main pump …
