Fan X.-Y., Liu Z.-Y., 2016, Design of Water Networks with Multiple Contaminants by Concentration Potential Concepts, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 52, 1153-1158.
It is often difficult to design water networks with multiple contaminants with literature methods. This paper provides a review about the concepts of Concentration Potential and their applications in design of water using networks with multiple contaminants. The values of Concentration Potential of Demands (CPDs) can be used to identify the precedence order of the processes to be performed. The values of Concentration Potential of Sources (CPSs) can be used to determine the reuse order of the source streams. The concepts of Concentration Potential have been successfully applied in design of different types of water using networks with multiple contaminants. It shows that the concepts of Concentration Potential are powerful tools in design of water using networks with multiple contaminants.
