This paper presents the least constrained mass transfer mathematical formulation for freshwater minimization in multipurpose batch chemical processes with central reusable water storage. The mathematical formulation is an extension of the model developed by Majozi [T. Majozi, Wastewater minimization using central reusable water storage in batch processes, Computers and Chemical Engineering Journal 29 (7) (2005) 1631–1646]. In the latter model four scenarios were considered with various limitations or constraints. In the scenario presented in this paper only the mass load is fixed, whilst both the quantity of water used in a particular operation and outlet concentration are allowed to vary. In essence, fixing the mass load is more representative of the practical case. A solution procedure for the resultant nonconvex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is also presented. The solution procedure first involves reformulating the MINLP into a relaxed linear model (MILP). The MILP is first solved, the solution of which forms a feasible starting solution for the MINLP. Presented are two illustrative examples.
