Increasing regulatory pressure for expanded wastewater treatment, waste minimization, and direct water conservation have forced many chemical process industries (CPI) plants to look seriously at water reuse. Many companies are finding that water reuse, in some form, can be cost-effective for existing plants, can open up previously closed opportunities for new plant siting and, in some cases, can even increase product quality and plant reliability. This article presents a systematic approach to evaluating water reuse for a CPI plant. It briefly reviews the major water reuse issues, and then discusses establishing a plant information database, evaluating water reuse strategies and technical options, developing and selecting water reuse alternatives, implementing a reuse plan, and measuring success.
