We address nonconvex bilinear problems where the main objective is the computation of a
tight lower bound for the objective function to be minimized. This can be obtained through a …

This paper presents new definitions for process intensification identifying two main
categories called unit intensification and plant intensification. This paper also proposes …

This paper presents a mathematical programing formulation for synthesizing water networks
associated with shale gas hydraulic fracturing operations while accounting for the system …

The pulp and paper (P&P) industries are classified among the water-intensitive industries. In
this work, implementation of the Water Closed-Loop System (WCLS) in a P&P factory to …

This paper proposes an optimization-based approach for designing rainwater harvesting
systems for domestic use in a residential development. The optimization model accounts for …

Increasing water demand in the process and its allied industries coupled with global water
stress and scarcity has underlined the importance of water as a crucial resource and …

This article presents a mathematical programing formulation for the optimal management of
flowback water in shale gas wells. The formulation accounts for the time‐based generation …

Water pinch analysis and mathematical optimization are two approaches that can be used in
an industrial unit to achieve the minimum water consumption and wastewater generation …

This work addresses the problem of water network synthesis. We propose a superstructure
with fixed topology for a water network that consists of three layers, similar to a pooling …

Water is the most significant entity that controls local and global development. The present
research involves property integration technique, graphical and mathematical; to first …
