The complete, hands-on guide to sustainable development
Today's process industries must develop natural resources withinan eco-friendly framework that balances current demand with futureneed. Realizing this goal necessitates global vigilance of threekey areas--people, planet, and prosperity--known as theTriple Bottom Line or, simply, the Triple P.
Sustainable Development in the Process Industries detailshow worldwide implementation of sustainable processes inpresent-day industries can positively influence the Triple P goingforward by lowering poverty, reducing pollution, and conservingresources. This in-depth guide includes:
* Real-world case studies and examples
* Individual chapters written by industry experts
* Application in industries such as petroleum and fuel, food,recycling, mineral processing, and water processing
* Focus on the micro (molecules, unit operations, processes) tothe macro (industrial sites, value chains, regions, the world)
Providing lessons with practical application rather than puretheory, Sustainable Development in the Process Industriesoffers sound solutions to social, ecological, and economicchallenges imperative to assuring our planet's well-being forgenerations.
