Liu J.-H., Li A.-H., Liu Z.-Y., 2016, An Effective Method for Targeting Water-using Networks of Single Contaminant Involving Regeneration Reuse/Recycling, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 52, 829-834.
Targeting of water-using networks involving regeneration reuse/recycling is often more difficult than that of the ones involving reuse only, especially for the regeneration unit with fixed removed ratio (RR) model. An effective method is presented in this article for targeting single contaminant water-using networks with fixed RR-model regeneration unit. The targeting procedure is based on the analysis of the features of the networks, and a few relationships developed from flow rate and mass load balances. The results of one literature example show that the target of a water-using network of single contaminant involving regeneration reuse/recycling can be obtained easily with the proposed method. From the targeting procedure proposed, it can be seen that the deeper we understand the features of water-using networks with regeneration unit, the simpler the targeting procedure.
