Abstract

An eco-industrial park (EIP) represents an infrastructure that provides integrative services to multiple industrial processes. The primary objective is to induce integration of materials exchange, utility sharing, waste treatment, and discharge. Because of the high level of interaction provided by the EIP, a system integration approach must be adopted to design the common infrastructure and to make decisions on the optimal allocation of streams. The objective of this work is to develop a systematic approach to the design of EIPs using a property-integration framework. Interfaces among the various processing facilities are characterized in terms of key properties. Next, property integration techniques are used to synthesize the EIP. A structural representation is used to embed potential congurations of interest. The representation accounts for the possibilities of direct reuse/recycle, material
