Process and Equipment Design for Utility-Based Pollution Prevention

  • Chapter
Tools and Methods for Pollution Prevention

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASEN2,volume 62))

Abstract

At present, designing processes is considered necessary as part of sustainable development in the process industries. Energy savings and pollution prevention have become priorities. Thus, it is necessary to place great emphasis on waste minimisation and energy efficiency in the context of good economic performance and good health and safety practices.
