Chapter Modeling and Advanced Control for Sustainable Process Systems starts with the inclusion of sustainability in process systems engineering by integrating process control with sustainability assessment tools for the simultaneous evaluation and optimization of process operations. The sustainability evaluation results provide information on whether the implementation of control systems is moving process performance toward a more sustainable operation. 

A whole plant biorefinery appears as a preferable concept, especially if the transformation units are located close to the crop production sites. Thus, the location of a biorefinery plant can be dictated by the nature of the oleaginous crop, and therefore, the place where its production, linked to the climate, is performed. Depending on the scale of production, the size of the biorefinery will be adapted. If possible the close-by proximity of bioproducts users will be ideal, but if it is not the case, it will be preferable to build a new biorefinery in an industrially rich area where heat integration can be performed. Moreover, this location will also be rich in transportation facilities. To be efficient, the territorial biorefinery should be adapted to multiple feedstocks and multiple bioproduct production in order to comply with crop management techniques. By opposition, another type of biorefinery, focused on transportation hubs such as the Port of Rotterdam or the Port of Ghent, is based on the same model as petrol. The type of biomass is often limited to a few crops and so is the number of large scale bioproducts. In this case, the long distance travels of the feedstocks can appear detrimental in their sustainability evaluation.

Artificial surfaces must be resistant to cigarette bums, vandaUsm, and other harm. Fire resistance is most critically evaluated by the NBS flooring radiant panel test (10). In this test, a gas-fired panel maintains a heat flux, impinging on the sample to be tested, between 1.1 W/cm at one end and 0.1 W/cm at the other. The result of the bum is reported as the flux needed to sustain flame propagation in the sample. Higher values denote greater resistance to burning results depend on material and surface constmction. Polypropylene turf materials are characterized by critical radiant flux indexes which are considerably lower than those for nylon and acryflc polymers (qv) (11).

With the Industrial Revolution, life became more complex but it was not until World War II that reliability engineering was needed to keep the complex airplanes, tanks, vehicles and ships operating. Of particular concern was the reliability of radar. Prior to this time equipment was known qualitatively to be reliable or unreliable. To quantify reliability requires collecting statistics on part failures in order to calculate the mean time to failure and the mean time to repair. Since then, NASA and the military has included reliability specifications in procurements thereby sustaining the collection and evaluation of data build statistical accuracy although it adds to the cost. 

Evaluate Effectiveness on the Basis of Outputs and Acceptance Once the system has been implemented on its chosen site, its effectiveness needs to be evaluated at frequent intervals so that corrective action can be taken in the event of problems. The first criterion for success is that the system must generate unique insights into the causes of errors and accidents, which would not otherwise have been apparent. Second, the system must demonstrate a capability to specify remedial strategies that, in the long term, lead to enhanced safety, environmental impact and plant losses. Finally, the system must be owned by the workforce to the extent that its value is accepted and it demonstrates its capability to be self-sustaining. 

In addition to these types of evaluations, the incident reporting and near miss systems should be monitored for improvements in performance that can be attributed to the program. On the basis of feedback from these and other sources such as changes in quality levels or efficiency, modifications should be made to the program to enhance and sustain its effectiveness. Concrete evidence regarding the benefits arising from the program should be communicated to those involved.

These are iron alloys that contain 14-18% Si and are reported as first being developed in 1912 , although it was not until 1954 that they were first evaluated for use as impressed-current anode material in cathodic protection. Its major disadvantage is that it is a hard brittle material unable to sustain thermal or mechanical shock.
