This paper introduces a new optimization model for the single and multiple-effect evaporation (SEE/MEE) systems design, including vapor recompression cycle thermal integration. The SEE/MEE is specially developed shale gas flowback water desalination. A superstructure proposed to solve problem, comprising several effects coupled with intermediate flashing tanks that are used enhance integration by recovering condensate vapor. Multistage equipment intercooling compress formed evaporation....
The conventional water network synthesis approach greatly simplifies wastewater treatment units by using fixed recoveries, creating a gap for their applicability to industrial processes. This work describes unifying combining various technologies capable of removing all the major types contaminants through use more realistic models. following improvements are made over typical superstructure-based First, unit-specific shortcut models developed in place contaminant removal model describe mass...
Shale gas has emerged as a potential resource to transform the global energy market. Nevertheless, extraction from tight shale formations is only possible after horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which generally demand large amounts of water. Part ejected fracturing fluid returns surface flowback water, containing variety pollutants. For this reason, water reuse recycling technologies have received further interest for enhancing overall process efficiency sustainability. Water...
Society is continuously facing challenges for safer chemical plants design, which usually driven by economic criteria during the early steps of design process, relegating safety concerns to latest stages. This paper highlights synergy merging Process System Engineering tools with inherent principles. First, we a superstructure that comprises several alternatives streams, equipment, and process conditions, exhibit different performance inherently indicators, total annualized cost, Dow's Fire...
To address water planning decisions in shale gas operations, we present a novel management optimization model that explicitly takes into account the effect of high concentrations total dissolved solids (TDS) and temporal variations impaired water. The comprises different strategies: (a) direct wastewater reuse, which is possible because new additives tolerant to TDS but at expense increasing costs; (b) treatment, separately taking pretreatment, softening, desalination technologies; (c) use...
This paper aims to provide an improvement in the modeling of supply chain designs by incorporating correlated uncertainty among multiple parameters, resulting a more resilient design. A new methodology generate forecasts for historically time series, regardless their underlying probability distributions, is presented and applied scenarios energy carbon prices, which proved be correlated. These are then used stochastic computation obtain three-echelon design Europe maximizing economic...
Abstract In this work, a mixed‐integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed to address optimal shale gas‐water management strategies among gas companies that operate relatively close. The objective compute distribution of water‐related costs and profit achieve stable agreement on cooperation them allows increasing total benefits reducing environmental impacts. We apply different solution methods based cooperative game theory: Core, the Dual Shapley value, minmax Core. solved case...
An optical method (real-time holographic interferometry) has been used to visualize concentration changes in the vicinity of membrane surface during dead-end reverse osmosis salt solutions. This interferometric technique is based on fact that refractive index, which are associated with concentration, can be visualized as interference fringes. Reverse experiments NaCl and Na2SO4 solutions feed range 1−7 kg/m3 at a constant pressure 600 kPa have conducted. Interferograms obtained under...
Driven by the growing concern regarding greenhouse gas emissions, in this work, we provide a robust stochastic model for design of cooperative supply chain (SC) under uncertainty CO2 allowance prices from European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). During last years, have undergone unexpected changes, having strong impact on and management optimal SC. The consideration has therefore become more important. We use an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) to predict future...
