Minimization of the LCA impact of thermodynamic cycles using a combined simulation-optimization approach

Environmental impact assessment of chicken meat production via an integrated methodology based on LCA, simulation and genetic algorithms

“…Chemical, thermal and biological processes have used it with very satisfactory results (Brunet et al, 2012;Leonzio, 2016;Morales Mendoza et al, 2012;Morales Mendoza et al, 2014;Petchkaewkula et al, 2016). The purpose is to inject PS results into LCA (Jacquemin et al, 2012) to enhance the scope of its results.…”

Optimization-Based Design of Crude Oil Distillation Units Using Rigorous Simulation Models

“…The optimization of process simulation models using external algorithms was addressed in other works [10][11][12] , but to the best of our knowledge none of them applied this approach to the design of complex crude-oil distillation units. In essence, these approaches decouple the simulation from the optimization in order to simplify the modelling and subsequent optimization of the process model.…”

Life cycle assessment (LCA) optimization of solar-assisted hybrid CCHP system

“…Consequently, the optimization amplified to life cycle is helpful to improve performance and minimize environmental impact of polygeneration system. In recent years, the combined methodology between LCA and optimization has been a new subject widely concerned for many sustainable processes such as thermodynamic cycle [31], biofuels and fossil fuels [32] and biomass CCHP system [33].…”
