Abstract
The objective of this work is to develop an integrated, systematic, and cost-effective design technique to synthesize a resource conservation network. On the basis of different characteristics for the process constraint and environmental discharge limit, mass and property integration techniques are adapted in this proposed approach. A conceptual framework is first developed to serve as the basis of the mathematical optimization model. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation is developed to synthesize a resource conservation network with minimum total annualized cost. A case study on the production of phenol from cumene hydroperoxide is presented to illustrate the proposed approach.
