The purpose of this book is to provide a base of information and
analysis to assist in implementation of the policy of reducing
and/or minimizing hazardous waste generation in manufacturing and
more specifically in the process industries. What is the
significance of reducing the generation of all process wastes? This
book examines the technical nature of waste reduction and the
extent to which waste reduction can likely be implemented. Also
explored is the extent to which technology itself as well as
information and re-sources are a barrier to waste reduction. In
what ways are waste reduction decisions dependent on specific
circumstances? Can the amount of feasible waste reduction be
estimated?
Auditing of manufacturing and unit operations and processes are
particularly significant and useful in the chemical process
industries (food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, fertilizer,
petrochemicals, etc.) since it is estimated that these industries
account for more than half of the hazardous wastes generated. This
book presents a compilation of complete information on potential
sources of waste loss or generation through technical inspection.
Also presented are calculation methods for determining
air-waste-solid wastes material balances, informational
requirements and waste reduction analysis.
The reader should find the book useful in the areas of auditing
and waste minimization. It is replete with useful information as
well as specific case histories which should make it a practical
tool for the user.
