Synthesis of reverse‐osmosis networks for waste reduction
TLDR
In this article, the authors introduce the concept of synthesizing reverseosmosis networks (RONs) for waste-reduction applications, which can separate a set of waste streams into lean and rich streams at minimum total annualized cost.Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to introduce the novel notion of synthesizing reverseosmosis networks (RONs) for waste-reduction applications. The RON design task aims at synthesizing a network of reverse-osmosis units, booster pumps and energy-recovery devices that can separate a set of waste streams into lean (product) streams and rich (retenate) streams at minimum total annualized cost. A systematic and generally applicable procedure for tackling RON synthesis problems is developed. First, a structural representation is devised to embed all potential network configurationsread more
