Features: This book summarizes the research and application achievements of water pinch technology in recent years. Through a detailed theoretical analysis of the basic principles combined with step-by-step guidance on practical applications, it enables readers to understand how to analyze, synthesize, and improve water systems and wastewater systems in the production process, achieving the maximum extent of industrial water reuse and reducing wastewater generation, while minimizing wastewater treatment costs. The book is divided into three main parts: conceptual development, software implementation, and industrial applications. It includes numerous industrial application examples and exercises, along with a "Water Use Design" software package. The book systematically and clearly elaborates on water pinch technology, integrating theory with practice. It serves as a reference for engineering professionals learning and applying water pinch technology, as well as an excellent textbook for students in chemical engineering, civil engineering, and environmental engineering programs on environmental protection engineering. The book introduces how to analyze, synthesize, and improve water systems and wastewater systems in the production process, achieving the maximum extent of industrial water reuse and reducing wastewater generation, while minimizing wastewater treatment costs.
