Description
Summary:Over the years, the Water Sources Diagram (WSD) has become a consolidated approach to determine the minimum freshwater consumption and simultaneously generate the system structure in water networks in many kinds of industrial processes. Some efforts have been employed to, for example, automatically determine the reference contaminant and reference operation and to predict in which operation(s) violations will occur, before the beginning of the calculations. Those violations are then removed as part of the last step of the method and it is currently performed by hand. Seeking to improve this step and to create an automated procedure that can be linked with the MINEA software was the motivation of this research.
