However unexpected additional technical and ecological drawbacks may appear as negative side effects of the new environmentally-friendly technologies. Thus, in their efforts to intensify upstream and downstream processes, industrial companies require a systematic aid to avoid compromising of ecological impact. The paper conceptualises a comprehensive approach for eco-innovation and eco- design in process engineering. The approach combines the advantages of Process Intensification as Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE), inventive tools of Knowledge-Based Innovation (KBI), and main principles and best-practices of Eco-Design and Sustainable Manufacturing. It includes a correlation matrix for identification of eco-engineering contradictions and a process mapping technique for problem definition, database of Process Intensification methods and equipment, as well as a set of strongest inventive operators for eco-ideation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LivotovMas'udahChandraSekaran, author = {Livotov, Pavel and Mas'udah, and Chandra Sekaran, Arun Prasad}, title = {Sustainable Innovation in Process Engineering using Quality Function Deployment Approach and Importance-Satisfaction Analysis of Requirements}, series = {New Opportunities for Innovation Breakthroughs for Developing Countries and Emerging Economies, IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology book series (IFIPAICT)}, volume = {572}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-32496-4 (Print)}, issn = {1868-4238 (Print)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-32497-1_22}, pages = {269 -- 281}, abstract = {Growing demands for cleaner production and higher eco-efficiency in process engineering require a comprehensive analysis of technical and environmental outcomes of customers and society. Moreover, unexpected additional technical or ecological drawbacks may appear as negative side effects of new environ-mentally friendly technologies. The paper conceptualizes a comprehensive ap-proach for analysis and ranking of engineering and ecological requirements in process engineering in order to anticipate secondary problems in eco-design and to avoid compromising the environmental or technological goals. For this purpose, the paper presents a method based on integration of the Quality Func-tion Deployment approach with the Importance-Satisfaction Analysis for the requirements ranking. The proposed method identifies and classifies compre-hensively the potential engineering and eco-engineering contradictions through analysis of correlations within requirements groups such as stakehold-er requirements (SRs) and technical requirements (TRs), and additionally through cross-relationship between SRs and TRs.}, language = {en} }
