Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) Development and Key Technologies for Clean Production

Sustainable industrial development which can minimize an ecological effect by the mankind exertion is recently interested due to an environmental contamination and a resource exhaustion problem. An eco-industrial park (EIP) is a community of manufacturing and service businesses seeking enhanced environmental and economic performance through collaboration in managing environmental and resource issues, including energy. water, and materials. EIP developments which improve a production plant within an eco-friendly greenfield and design a new industrial ecosystem are accomplished recently. which can efficiently re-use the waste and resources from each company within EIP. In this review, the outside and domestic case studies of El P and cornerstone technologies to develop the EIP. such as energy integration, waste reuse, mass flow analysis, water pinch, and life cycle assessment, are summarized.
