✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The sustainability of a chemical process can be estimated using qualitative and quantitative indicators. Quantitative indicators, such as potential environmental impact (PEI) indexes, are essential for evaluating the environmental impact of a chemical process and for choosing the best design among available alternatives. Waste Reduction (WAR) Algorithm, used to calculate the PEI indexes, is implemented using a standard methodology, CAPE OPEN (CO). Such development leads to COWAR, a software module for the evaluation of process sustainability. Details regarding the COWAR development and function are presented in this work. Finally, a representative chemical process is presented to demonstrate the software applicability. © 2008 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 2008
