Description:
In this study, we introduced several modifications to the WAR (waste reduction) algorithm developed earlier. hese modifications were made for systematically handling sensitivity analysis and various tasks of waste minimization. esign hierarchy was formulated to promote appropriate waste reduction tasks at designated levels of the hierarchy. ensitivity coefficient was used to measure the relative impacts of process variables on the pollution index of a process. he use of the WAR algorithm was demonstrated by a fermentation process for making penicillin.
