Pollution Prevention:
We developed a method for preventing pollution in chemical processes by selecting
solvents which have good environmental behaviour in addition to good performance.
The software examines solvents from an attached solvent database for behaviour in
the process and environment by conducting solubility calculations and other required
property estimations which are related to the solvent function, and by checking for the
influence on important environmental dangers ranging from global threats like ozone
depletion to local harms.
Waste minimization:
In this part we compare input and output flows of processes and their composition in
order to calculate the excess of reactants, the relative yield, the use of additional agents
and the efficiency of the chemical reaction itself. As a result one can identify possible weak
points of the process and can locate input material which is not used efficiently.
