Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS)[1] is a cost screening technique to assist designers achieve a desired investment payback period during preliminary design of water-using systems. Heuristics involving equipment susbtitution and intensification are used to guide process changes. SHARPS method has been used to yield cost effective minimum water network for water-intensive facilities.
