Abstract

Resource conservation for batch processes is gaining good attention in recent years. This is mainly due to the recent trend in chemical engineering that focuses on product engineering, as well as in the rise of various low volume and high value-added products (e.g. pharmaceutical, specialty chemicals, etc.) in the market. In this study, a systematic procedure to perform targeting and design of a batch resource conservation network (RCN) involving material regeneration and waste treatment (also known as a total RCN) is proposed. The procedure is applicable for all fixed-schedule-type batch RCNs with mass storage facilities. Literature examples are used to elucidate the proposed procedure.
