Abstract

Process input data including material and energy, process output data including product, co-product and its environmental emissions of the reference and target processes were collected and analyzed to evaluate the process performance. Environmentally problematic input/environmental emissions of the manufacturing processes were identified using these data. Significant process inputs contributing to each of the environmental emissions were identified using multiple regression analysis between the process inputs and environmental emissions. Optimum combination of the end-of-pipe technologies for treating the environmental emissions considering economic aspects was made using the linear programming technique. The cement manufacturing processes in Korea and the EU producing same type of cement were chosen for the case study. Environmentally problematic input/environmental emissions of the domestic cement manufacturing processes include coal, dust, and $SO_x$. Multiple regression analysis among the process inputs and environmental emissions revealed that $CO_2$ emission was influenced most by coal, followed by the input raw materials and gypsum. $SO_x$ emission was influenced by coal, and dust emission by gypsum followed by raw material. Optimization of the end-of-pipe technologies treating dust showed that a combination of 100% of the electro precipitator and 2.4% of the fiber filter gives the lowest cost. The $SO_x$ case showed that a combination of 100% of the dry addition process and 25.88% of the wet scrubber gives the lowest cost. Salient feature of this research is that it proposed a method for identifying environmentally problematic input/environmental emissions of the manufacturing processes, in particular, cement manufacturing process. Another feature is that it showed a method for selecting the optimum combination of the end-of-pipe treatment technologies.

기준공정과 개선대상공정 간의 투입물(Input, Material and energy), 배출물(Output, Product, Co-product), 환경오염물(Environmental emission) 데이터를 수집하고 공정 성과를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 환경적으로 주요한 투입물과 환경오염물을 파악하였다. 제조공정의 투입물과 환경오염물 간의 상관관계 분석을 통해 각 환경오염물에 대한 기여도가 큰 투입물을 파악하였다. 주요 환경오염물 처리 시, 경제적 최적화를 통한 종말처리공정 조합을 선형 프로그래밍 기법을 사용하여 규명하였다. 사례 연구로는 동일한 형태의 시멘트를 생산하는 EU와 국내 시멘트 제조공정을 선정하였다. 국내 시멘트 제조공정에서는 석탄이 주요 투입물로, 먼지, $SO_x$가 주요 환경오염물로 파악되었다. 제조공정의 투입물과 환경오염물 간의 다중회귀분석결과 석탄>원자재>석고 순으로 $CO_2$발생량에 기여도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. $SO_x$발생량의 경우 석탄의 기여도가 가장 컸으며, Dust 발생량의 경우 석고>원자재 순으로 기여도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. Dust 종말처리공정 최적화에서 전기집진기술 100%, 섬유필터기술 2.4% 조합이 최적이었다. $SO_x$종말처리공정 최적화에서는 건식첨가공정기술 100% 습식세정기술 25.88% 조합이 최적이었다. 이 연구의 특징은 제조공정에서 문제가 되는 주요 투입물과 환경오염물을 파악하는 방법을 제시하였다는 점이다. 또한, 기술적 경제적으로 최적의 조합인 종말처리공정 선정 방법을 제시하였다는 점이다.
