Overview
The previous 3 chapters gave some background on the fundamental aspects of batch processes with a particular focus on capturing the essence of time. No particular emphasis was placed on process integration aspects, like wastewater minimisation through recycle and reuse, as well as heat integration. Starting with this chapter, the rest of this textbook will address aspects of process integration. In this chapter, a mathematical formulation for freshwater and wastewater minimization in multipurpose batch plants with and without a central reusable water storage facility is presented. This formulation is based on uneven discretization of the time horizon as introduced in Chapter 1. The formulation that is presented in this chapter is targeted at multiproduct rather than multipurpose facilities. A fully generalized model that is applicable to both multiproduct and multipurpose batch plants is presented in Chapter 6 of this textbook.
