Review of the Application of Water Pinch Technology in Water-Saving and Emission Reduction

Abstract:

Water pinch technology for the water system of enterprises is one of the focuses on water-saving and emission reduction research of enterprises in recent years. This technology is characterized by the design minimal fresh water consumption and waste water emissions minimum and aims to achieve economic benefit optimum process integration technology. The application of water pinch technology to integration and optimization of the water system was reviewed, and engineering application examples of water pinch technology were introduced. The water pinch technology is simple and intuitive. Besides, it could achieve optimal solution for a single impurity system. But for multiple contaminants system, this method will no longer apply. Taking into account its limitations, the possible optimization solutions to application of water pinch technology in combination with other types of analysis tools in enterprise water system were put forward.
