  4. Abstract:
  5. Finding environmentally clean alternatives for retrofitting existing processes has been addressed with various approaches. In this paper, a previous pollution prevention (P2) approach by the same authors is extended to include EHS criteria for targeting waste reduction in chemical processes. The method is applied to an existing facility as a case study and most viable modification are highlighted in order to improve the environmental conditions of the plant with the regulatory constraints in mind. The advantages of the present approach are that the proposed solutions are based on a precise, integrated description (simulated model) of the plant and the environment, practical feasibility of the modifications, and the correspondence of pollution impacts with regulations. The results of this type of analysis are risk-based pollution prevention targets, and the appropriate direction/magnitude of any modifications. © 2000 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
