Multi-objective optimization approach for green design of methanol plant based on CO2-efficeincy indicator
, Article Journal of Cleaner Production ; 2014 ; ISSN: 09596526 ; Pishvaie, M. R ; Farhadi, F ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The aim of the present work is to propose an eco-design method for sustainable development of methanol production by implementing a multi-objective optimization model based on CO2-efficiency. Two different approaches for the methanol production, i.e. a conventional reference methanol case (RMC) and proposed green integrated methanol case (GIMC) were compared from the view point of eco-design. Using life cycle assessment and process simulation, the environmental features as well as operational decision variables of the RMC and GIMC were assessed. Based on the inventory analysis of LCA, it was found that carbon dioxide is the major emitted pollutant from methanol production. Thus the...
