State-of-the-art review of pinch analysis techniques for water network synthesis

DCY Foo - Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2009 - ACS Publications
Water network synthesis has been an active area of research for the past one and a half
decades. Many think that the technology reached a mature stage in the late 1990s, especially …

Targeting the minimum water flow rate using water cascade analysis technique

ZA Manan, YL Tan, DCY Foo - AIChE Journal, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
This work presents the water cascade analysis (WCA) as a new technique to establish the
minimum water and wastewater targets for continuous water‐using processes. The WCA is a …

Setting the minimum utility gas flowrate targets using cascade analysis technique

DCY Foo, ZA Manan - Industrial & engineering chemistry …, 2006 - ACS Publications
This work describes the gas cascade analysis (GCA) as an extension to cascade analysis
technique for targeting the minimum flowrates for water and property-based networks. The …

Game theory approach to the analysis of inter-plant water integration in an eco-industrial park

IML Chew, RR Tan, DCY Foo, ASF Chiu - Journal of cleaner production, 2009 - Elsevier
Industrial water conservation is an important adaptation to the effects of climate change. In
addition to water conservation within individual plants, wastewater can be reused/recycled …

Synthesis of direct and indirect interplant water network

IML Chew, R Tan, DKS Ng, DCY Foo… - Industrial & …, 2008 - ACS Publications
To date, most work on water network synthesis has been focusing on a single water network.
The increase of public awareness toward industrial ecology has inspired new research into …

Pinch analysis approach to carbon-constrained planningfor sustainable power generation

RR Tan, DKS Ng, DCY Foo - Journal of Cleaner Production, 2009 - Elsevier
A graphical pinch-based methodology for planning retrofits for carbon capture and storage (CCS)
in the power generation sector is presented in this work. CCS is widely seen as one of …

Extended pinch targeting techniques for carbon-constrained energy sector planning

SC Lee, DKS Ng, DCY Foo, RR Tan - Applied Energy, 2009 - Elsevier
