APPLICATION OF FOURIER TRANSFORMATION FOR WASTE MINIMIZATION IN BATCH PLANTS. 1. ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION RECIPES

Abstract

In the present study an alternative system oriented approach for determining the environmental impact assessments is proposed. It is based on the application of Fourier transformation for presenting the discontinuous functions of waste-w mass rates as continuous ones. Using the Fourier transformation the respective environmental impact indices are presented as functions of time and the environmental impact assessments for the given pollutant and for the entire plant are obtained. The approach is used for environmental impact analysis of production recipes based on the example of curd processing. The optimal milkfat content is obtained so that the Global BOD generated in the process is minimal. The distribution of the environmental impact level into the production cycle is presented.
