This book explores sustainability engineering through the lens of
the manufacturing and chemical process industries to elucidate the
safe and economic implementation of process designs used to
transform raw materials into useful finished products. The author
applies the tenets of sustainability science to develop an
engineering methodology that supports the perpetual availability of
raw materials through recycling/reuse/repurposing, incorporates
inexhaustible supplies, such as solar energy and municipal waste,
and encompasses the husbandry of these resources in a manner that
minimizes negative environmental impacts. Anyone involved in the
design or manufacture of chemicals, or the upgrade of existing
manufacturing processes, will benefit from this book’s suggestions
for identifying improvement options, while adding the pivotal
aspect of sustainability to the usual cost and safety equation
optimization elements.
