instantaneous value of environmental indexes%reactor network synthesis%potential environmental im-pact%waste reduction
Waste reduction is gaining importance as the preferred means of pollution prevention. Reactor networksynthesis is one of the key parts of chemical process synthesis. In this study, a geometric approach to reactor net-work synthesis for waste reduction is presented. The bases of the approach are potential environment impact (PEI)rate-law expression, PEI balance and the instantaneous value of environmental indexes. The instantaneous value can bederived using the PEI balance, PEI rate-law expression and the environmental indexes. The optimal reactor networkswith the minimum generation of potential environment impact are geometrically derived by comparing with areasof the corresponding regions. From the case study involving complex reactions, the approach does not involve solv-ing the complicated mathematical problem and can avoid the dimension limitation in the attainable region approach.
