Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS) [Wan Alwi, S. R. and Manan, Z. A. (2006). SHARPS – A New Cost-Screening Technique To Attain Cost-Effective Minimum Water Utilisation Network . AiChe Journal. 11 (52): 3981-3988.] 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.
