On the flexibility of an eco-industrial park (EIP) for managing industrial water

摘要: In a recent paper, generic model, based on multiobjective optimization procedure, for water supply system single company and an eco-industrial park was proposed illustrated by involving three companies A, B C. The best configuration identified simultaneously minimizing the fresh flow rate, regenerated rate number of connections in park. question is now to know what maximal increase/decrease pollutant rates is, so that remains feasible, economically profitable environmentally friendly. A preliminary study shows can accept increase 29% 12% only 1% C; beyond these limits industrial symbiosis becomes not feasible. flexible with very limited connections. Indeed, solution implemented conferring some flexibility this network within However, have cost, their needs remain moderate. augmented until unfeasible, or gain each participate lower than given threshold. Several cases are studied increasing under two different scenarios: 1) one company, 2) simultaneously.
