Water and Wastewater Optimization in Multiple Contaminants Network Using Water Pinch Technology

Data mining is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. Data mining is applied to find patterns to help in the important tasks of medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we present a sensor to measure water level in rivers, lakes, lagoons and streams. For such purpose and to prove our concept, we designed a pilot project throu...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Retrofit of Water Network with Regeneration Using Water Pinch Analysis

This paper presents the development of a new systematic technique for the retrofit of water network with regeneration based on water pinch analysis. The procedure consists of two parts: retrofit targeting and design for a water network with regeneration unit(s). In the targeting stage, retrofit targets (utility savings and capital investment) were determined for a range of process parameters (t...

Minimizing Fresh and Wastewater Using Water Pinch Technique in Petrochemical Industries

This research involves the design and analysis of pinch-based water/wastewater networks to minimize water utility in the petrochemical and petroleum industries. A study has been done on Tehran Oil Refinery to analyze feasibilities of regeneration, reuse and recycling of water network. COD is considered as a single key contaminant. Amount of freshwater was reduced about 149m/h (43.8%) regarding ...

Presenting a Suitable Algorithm for Optimization of Water Consumption in Water Pinch Analysis (A Case Study: Shahid Tondgooyan Oil Refining Co., Tehran)

Since less than 1 percent of world waters are potable, minimizing water consumption is a significant issue. The aim of this study is to present a suitable algorithm for optimization of water consumption in water pinch analysis. In this regard, the results of computer algorithm are verified by the results of previous studies. As a case study, dissolved solid pollutants are taken into considerati...
