In this paper, a general strategy is presented for optimizing water resources in industrial activities taking into account fluctuations of water flow-streams and water contents in feed and products as well as in the utility system. Indeed, considering fluctuations can be of primary importance for several water intensive industries such as the...

In the food industry, water is frequently used both as a system utility and as a component that enters products and sub products. In other words, fresh water entering the process exits it either in the wastewaters or in the products. Consequently, the usual optimisation techniques for minimizing the overall water consumption are to be modified...

In order to assess the capabilities of a remediation technology, and to judge of its efficacy, it is necessary to evaluate the initial average contamination level of the soil, an operation that can be difficult because of the inhomogeneity of the contamination itself. The goal is even more challenging when different contaminants are present,...

Various civilian, agricultural and industrial activities cause the presence of nitrogen compounds in surface and groundwater, where they are further converted into ammonia and its salts. The progressive increase in ammonium concentration in the environment represents a serious concern since it is one of the main causes of eutrophication and its...
