Rank pollution prevention and control options

摘要: Pollution from industrial processes is a direct result of inefficiencies in raw material conversion and energy utilization. Improvements process efficiency should, therefore, lead to reduction pollution. Thus, compliance with statutory emissions requirements can, many cases, be achieved through conservation measures that improve yield reduce consumption. An earlier article described how integration methods could used identify options for reducing systematic way. Here the authors address related question--how evaluate, compare, rank have been defined. The focus on airborne NO[sub x] emissions, although similar are applicable other environmental media. methodology presented here several purposes. A company use it most cost-effective technical strategy pollution prevention at its facilities. Businesses as tool assist commercial trading offset (or credits). And regulators establish basis setting economically realistic standards performance.
