AB  - Studies involving the design of interplant water networks have received significant attention over the past few years. Many methods have been developed to assist in obtaining efficient water reuse network design schemes, mainly using fundamental concepts of water integration. Our recent work has presented the importance of considering spatial constraints in the form of utility corridor availability, when identifying cost-effective interplant water network arrangements in industrial zones (Alnouri et al., [2014]: Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy 16, 1637-1659). This article extends the scope of our previous work by enabling the identification of new corridor locations, which could potentially be used alongside existing utility infrastructure. We present an optimization framework that allows unutilized areas of land within industrial zones to be sectioned off and added as optional transportation channels, together with existing utility corridor regions, in the course of attaining cost-effective interplant water network designs. The methodology entails that identification of optimal wastewater reuse schemes among various processing entities, by exploring options for enhanced utility corridors. As an illustration, several cases that utilize an assumed layout for an industrial zone have been carried out, in which a number of unutilized regions of land were identified to exist. Several opportunities that allow for potential corridor additions onto existing corridor infrastructure, through the exploitation of unutilized regions of land within the plot, were explored. A number of improvements in the water network designs obtained are highlighted for the different case scenarios that have been investigated, using the proposed approach.

AB  - In this work, an industrial city spatial representation that accounts for different plant layouts and arrangements is utilized for interplant water network synthesis. The problem has been previously tackled using deterministic optimization methods. This work employs a stochastic optimization approach, using genetic algorithms, for the design of spatially constrained interplant water networks using direct recycling techniques. The approach identifies well-performing solutions in an evolutionary manner, by generating populations of candidate solutions, then sampling regions that are associated with the highest performance probabilities. This ensures that only the fittest designs survive, when evaluating the network performance. A fitness objective that accounts for both freshwater and piping costs was utilized in the design evaluation stage. When compared to the results that have been obtained using deterministic optimization, trade-off trends between the optimum cost of the network and fresh/waste targets were manifested by means of stochastic optimization. Enhanced network performance was attained for a reduced total cost, at the expense of a certain deviation from fresh/waste targets.
