Softwre tool for Enviornmental plant Modeling

摘要

Waste disposal and the control of polluting emissions repre- sent a critical operational issues for industrial enterprises. In this paper a software tool for computer-aided design and eco- nomical analysis of environmental plants is presented. the tool ahs been developed in order to assist process engineers in the proper choice and sizing of the different pieces of pollution control equipment, as well as in the correct planning of waste treatment plants. The model is able to quantitatively character- ize the processes involved, while also performing an overall siz- ing and costing of main equipment, taking into account dif- ferent process units and a variable mix of incoming waste streams.
