Energy recovery life cycle assessment

LCC calculations frequently provide energy-efficient solutions. This gives reduced energy consumption and a reduction in environmental pollution. For example, the installation of a heat recovery system in a ventilation system may reduce the energy consumption and emissions by 50 to 80%. Figure 16.1 compares life cycle cost and life cycle assessment calculations.

A Life Cycle Inventory/Assessment (LCI/A) is used to determine the overall amounts of materials used, waste generated, and energy used during the manufacture of solvents, their use in pharmaceutical processes, and their eventual disposal. Many processes today are designed with an emphasis on solvent recovery to help reduce the costs associated with purchasing fresh solvent and waste...
