Ganzheitliche Bilanzierung und Bewertung von Produktionsprozessen : dargestellt am Beispiel von Reinigungssystemen für die Oberflächenbehandlung

Total balance and evaluation of production processes taking the evaluation of metallic surface cleaning systems as an example In evaluating production processes for plant optimisation as well as for installation comparisons, nowadays the aspects of the complete requirements are only partially taken into account. Whereas techno-economical optimisation of production processes is currently applied by engineering processes, only few concepts exist for the quantification of ecological impacts. The main focus of this paper is to consider the ecological dimension through a process oriented ecological balance methodology. This methodology is based on the concept of life cycle analysis (LCA) of products and is applied in the field of metallic surface cleaning processes.
