So the analysis of flexibility becomes an important topic in chemical process design. In the past, the design of water networks is usually constructed under fixed operational conditions and without the consideration of the effects of uncertainty parameters. This research analyzes the operational flexibility of water usage and treatment networks by adopting mathematical programming, and discuss the effects of mixers and buffer tanks on the flexibility of networks. In addition, we propose the steps for designing water networks that could take both water saving and operational flexibility into consideration. Finally, series of cases is provided in this study to demonstrate the designing steps of networks.
