Although we present "best practice" in our database, there are
still many oportunities to improve these processes. Many projects
and institutions work on this issue (e.g. how to reduce enregy
and water consumption). Here you get some of their findings
and results:
>>
BREFs
Working groups established by the EU develop reference documents
for Best Available Techniques (BREFs) for important industrial
areas. The composition of those groups, the development of their
work and the finalised documents can be found under: IPPC Office
>>
Universität Jena
In a German bmbf project the Institut for Technical and Environmental
Chemistry compared metal cleaning processes (using chlorinated
agents, hydro carbons and aqueous agents) in respect of their
environmental impacts. They also issued recommendations concerning
optimization of processes
