It brings together state-of-the-art methodologies and practical strategies for designing, retrofitting, and managing thermal and water subsystems across diverse industrial contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat and water are usually treated in isolation despite being deeply interdependent. This volume adopts a unified systems engineering perspective, allowing engineers to identify the synergies, trade-offs, and co-benefits that matter most in modern process industries. Balancing theoretical modelling with real-world application, it supports better decision-making in the design and operation of integrated energy-water systems, contributing directly to the decarbonisation and circularisation of industrial infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps engineers design integrated heat and water networks that lower energy and water costs in industrial operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplies advanced optimization techniques to real-world sustainability challenges in process industries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides step-by-step methods to retrofit existing plants for improved efficiency without major infrastructure changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquips professionals to evaluate trade-offs between economic performance and environmental impact in utility systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers practical models for coordinating utilities across multiple plants, supporting eco-industrial park development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers structured treatment of heat exchanger network synthesis, waste heat recovery, and water reuse optimization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat exchanger network synthesis · Multipass HEN design via genetic algorithms · Utility allocation · Pressure losses in HEN design · Multi-objective environmental and economic trade-offs · Process retrofit and thermal optimization · Cross-plant waste heat recovery · Organic Rankine Cycles in industrial units · Trigeneration · Renewable energy integration into industrial heat supply · Multi-facility water networks in eco-industrial parks · Pollutant load distribution · The water-energy nexus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJosé María Ponce-Ortega is Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Mexico.

Most plants optimise heat and water separately, leaving significant savings on the table. This is the first sustained treatment of the two subsystems as one optimisation problem, written by the group that has published most extensively on the topic. For process engineers, sustainability teams and research libraries in chemical and energy engineering, it is a working reference rather than a survey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeywords\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnergy and water networks, heat exchanger network synthesis, process integration, industrial decarbonization, eco-industrial parks, waste heat recovery, water reuse optimization, water-energy nexus, organic Rankine cycle, trigeneration, chemical process optimization, sustainable industrial systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Audience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChemical and process engineers, industrial energy managers, water and wastewater engineers, sustainability and decarbonisation consultants, process systems engineering researchers, technical and university libraries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Sustainability, Clean Energy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions \u0026amp; Answers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the water-energy nexus in industrial process engineering?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the recognition that a plant's thermal and water subsystems are physically coupled: cooling water demand depends on heat integration, and effluent treatment consumes energy. Optimising them jointly, as this book does, exposes savings that are invisible when each is treated separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can an existing plant be retrofitted for energy efficiency without major capital works?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 sets out a structured retrofit methodology that reconfigures existing heat exchanger networks and utility allocation rather than replacing equipment, which is typically where the fastest payback is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a heat exchanger network (HEN) and why does its synthesis matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA HEN is the arrangement of exchangers that recovers heat between hot and cold process streams. Its configuration determines how much external heating and cooling a plant must buy, so synthesis is the single highest-leverage decision in industrial energy efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat role do eco-industrial parks play in resource efficiency?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey allow neighbouring plants to share utilities, waste heat and treated water.
