Book Description
Cleaner Production is an emerging field of research that comprises concepts and methodologies from different disciplines in a problem-oriented manner. Research efforts are often concentrated in a variety of sectoral domains; and, for understanding the global change which embraces a variety of processes on several scales, a variety of environmental and sustainability aspects can be addressed. This book brings contributions from researchers that participated in editions of the International Workshop Advances in Cleaner Production (www.advancesincleanerproduction.net) held in São Paulo, Brazil. The book includes contributions from researchers from various countries for the development of Cleaner Production. Divided into three sections, the book addresses national experiences for the implementation of CP programs, research related to the metrics used to assess the effects of CP initiatives in the production sector and discussions that emerge before and after the implementation of these programs. Methodological approaches presented can be useful in the design and management of production systems, for policy development, environmental risk reduction, and prevention/mitigation strategies.
Engineers Guide to Cleaner Production Technologies
Author: Paul M. RandallPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781566764230
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Industrial facilities are increasingly recognizing the need to minimize the amount of pollutants generated on-site. Significant benefits (including cost savings, reduced physical hazards, decreased regulatory burdens, and improved occupational and environmental health and safety) can be achieved by substituting cleaner technologies in the production process. Moreover, as manufacturers invest in pollution prevention, they often make changes that enable them to compete more effectively in the global marketplace. This new book is a guide for the practicing engineer who has the responsibility for process improvements to reduce or eliminate wastes in the environment. The "cleaner production technologies" described here are categorized as either commercially available or emerging. The text addresses pollution prevention benefits, operating features, applications, limitations, and regulatory features for each technology. Schematics illustrate processes and equipment, and extensive reference data is provided in tables and figures. The process change descriptions within this book allow engineers to evaluate alternatives so that cleaner technologies can be considered for existing plants, or factored into the design of new operations. Detailed information is presented to select one or more candidate technologies for further analysis and in-plant testing. The book does not recommend any one technology over another, but rather presents concise summaries of applications and operating information to support preliminary selection of cleaner technology options for testing in specific processes. This accessible book provides practical information that will help small and medium-sized businesses implement cleaner production technologies. Production engineers, process engineers, and system design engineers will find it invaluable in selecting cleaner technologies and strategies for process improvement.

Book Description
This book provides an overview of cleaner production, including how regulations have evolved, and presents a broad perspective on how it is being developed. Presenting several practical examples and applications of modern clean production technologies, it provides readers with ideas on how to extend these practices to other industry sectors in order to contribute to a better environment in the future. The authors start from the initial concepts of how to implement new cleaner production systems, before collecting recent developments in the area and demonstrating practical ways in which the latest knowledge can be applied. It motivates readers to develop new ideas on how to improve manufacturing systems to save energy and generate less waste, and discusses strategies on how to save, reuse and adapt materials, as well as techniques to reduce the waste and pollution produced. This book serves as a reference resource for industrial management engineers and researchers, and is also of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students looking for insights into cleaner production in industry.

Book Description
The world has witnessed several revolutions since the dawn of industrial revolution some two centuries ago. During the current century itself, three revolutions in the area of communication, information processing and quality have taken place and each time the standard of living of man improved beyond predictions. But during the same period, the world population has also phenomenally increased dwarfing the gains achieved from the development. Increased level of industrial activity to meet the of humanity has caused irreversible damage to the pristine environment that the demand Earth once had. Economic disparity between the haves and havenots has widened, aggravating the situation further more. Ozone layer depletion, warming up of Earth's atmosphere and the pollution created by uncontrolled industrial activity to gain economic strength are now assuming the proportion of a catastrophe that may eventually threaten the survival of life on Earth. Developed countries blame the Third World countries for the uncontrolled emissions through burning of fossil fuels and for wasting precious resources of energy by using inefficient and uneconomical technologies, while the developed countries are equally responsible for avoidable oV,er-consumption and for the wastage of resources and energy and for not sharing the improved and efficient technologies with the developing countries. Thus the wastage by both these set of countries continues unabated. After all, resources of the world are finite and are meant to be shared by all its inhabitants.
