Circularity assessment of industrial heat exchanger and water treatment systems integration
Water recycling and reusing strategies in industries have been promoted to reduce freshwater consumption. In addition, Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger technology has been employed successfully, resulting in the reduction of natural gas consumption and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. It is important to assess the true benefits of the application of these Circular Economy strategies. Therefore, this work assesses the integration of a Heat Pipe Condenser Economiser (HPCE) and a water treatment system in a ceramic industry. Additionally, rooftop rainwater harvesting is integrated into the industry. The CE assessment methodologies and selected indicators measure the efficiency of the transition from a linear to a circular economy and identify strategies for optimisation. However, the interactions between human and natural systems related to the abstraction of resources and release of outflows are not considered. This is important to understand potential disruptions when implementing circular actions. Therefore, the assessment focuses on circular principles such as resource traceability and value created by implemented actions, and through resource flow and circular action indicators, the intrinsic circularity of system integration is quantified. The assessment showed the integration of both systems and the rooftop rainwater harvesting increased the Circular Water Flow and the Water Withdrawal Reduction up to 33.73 % and 22.88 %, respectively. Moreover, it demonstrates that the HPCE integration increased the Recovered Energy Contribution up to 19.98 %. This indicates the system’s integrations increased circular performance over the baseline scenario. Additionally, the assessment enabled a scenario analysis which aided in identifying further strategies to improve the circular actions, such as reducing freshwater withdrawal.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
