Abstract

To minimize consumption and maximize utility of resources, material exchange between different plants may be established based on material properties deemed significant for the operation of the participating plants. This paper thus presents a model for optimizing the design of property based material exchange networks among several plants in an eco-industrial park. Furthermore, the establishment of these networks requires mutual cooperation among the different firms based on the satisfaction of individual goal targets and may be constrained by the number of allowable pipes connecting the plants. These aspects are incorporated in the model through fuzzy mixed integer linear programming. The model is utilized for a case study considering water exchange between two semi-conductor plants. The optimal network is that which simultaneously satisfies topological constraints and the fuzzy goals of the participating plants.
