Each stage can comprise multiple alternative technologies that can perform the same tasks with different efficiencies, operating times, and costs. Thus, we propose a systematic approach for designing wastewater treatment networks by utilizing principles of mathematical modeling and generating an exhaustive enumeration of all the possible technologies and their connections during the early stages of designing a treatment facility. Some of these structures are nonintuitive and include recycling, reprocessing, bypasses, and multiple technologies in parallel or series to remove the same contaminant. The nonintuitive structures with multiple technologies may provide a measure of resilience compared to typical heuristic designs. Thus, the combination of P-graph methodology and the sequence of treatment technologies predicted via the optimization algorithm from the maximal structure is based on holistic considerations and does not lead to suboptimal solutions. © 2021 American Institute of Chemical Engineers.}, keywords = {wastewater treatment; Process network synthesis; P-graph; Exhaustive enumeration}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1547-5905}, orcid-numbers = {Pimentel, Jean/0000-0003-3359-4848} } @article{MTMT:31415130, title = {Scheduling custom printed napkin manufacturing by P-graphs}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31415130}, author = {Frits, Márton and Bertók, Botond}, doi = {10.1016/j.compchemeng.2020.107017}, journal-iso = {COMPUT CHEM ENG}, journal = {COMPUTERS & CHEMICAL ENGINEERING}, volume = {141}, unique-id = {31415130}, issn = {0098-1354}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1873-4375}, orcid-numbers = {Bertók, Botond/0000-0002-1297-9792} } @article{MTMT:31044759, title = {Implementing Circular Economy in municipal solid waste treatment system using P-graph}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31044759}, author = {Van Fan, Yee and Klemeš, Jiri Jaromir and Walmsley, Timothy Gordon and Bertók, Botond}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.134652}, journal-iso = {SCI TOTAL ENVIRON}, journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {701}, unique-id = {31044759}, issn = {0048-9697}, abstract = {Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the issues associated with the growth of economic and urban population. The aim of this study is to develop an integrated design of waste management systems in support of a Circular Economy by P-graph (a bipartite graphical optimisation tool) as an effective decision support tool. The case study considers four MSW compositions based on different country income levels. Solving the P-graph model identifies the most suitable treatment approaches, considering the economic balance between the main operating cost, type, yield, quality of products, as well as the GHG emission (externality cost). The identification of near-optimal solutions by P-graph is useful in dealing with the trade-offs between conflicting objectives, e.g. local policy and practical implementation, that are difficult to monetise. For a lower-income country, the optimal solution includes a combination of at source separation, recycling, incineration (heat, electricity), anaerobic digestion (biofuel, digestate) and the landfill. It avoids an estimated 411 kg CO2eq/t of processed MSW and achieves a potential profit of 42 SIC/t of processed MSW. The optimisation generally favours mechanical biological treatment as the country income level rises, which affects the composition of the MSW. The relative prices of biofuel, electricity and heat (>20%) cause a significant impact on the highest-ranking treatment structure and overall profit. This study shows that the developed framework by P-graph is an effective tool for MSW systems planning. For future study, localised data inputs can be fed into the proposed framework for a customised solution and economic feasibility assessment. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
