Minimizing Water Footprint in Industrial Networks

One of the key facets of water management in industries is the focus on the 3Rs, viz. Recycle, Reuse and Regeneration. Research efforts in my group have looked at facile ways of intra as well as inter plant opportunities for implementing the 3Rs to minimize water footprint in industrial practices. Approaches based on using super-structure based optimization methods have been effectively developed to achieve this objective.
