    Water minimisation at Skorpion zinc
    (2009) Bhikha, Harshad; Lewis, Alison Emslie; Deglon, David A
    This work proposes a systemic optimisation of the water balance of the Skorpion Zinc refinery, the case study selected for this work. The Skorpion process is located in Rosh Pinah in Namibia and was selected due to its location on an ecologally sensitive region where water is scarce. The project proposes that peocess optimisation cannot occure through focus on unit operations in isolation, but rather to use the interactions between the different operations to optimise the process systematically.
