Life-Cycle Mass-Energy Balance
Question
1
#45875
Routine to chemists, this is very different for most of us. Examine everything going into and out of a process, whether it has a $ sign on it or not.

How this works

Compression Thinking »
Compression Thinking
Compression ThinkingâPopulation growth squeezes all of us on a planet whose resources are finite. To not only survive, but improve quality of life, we must become much smarter using what we have. For practical, effective action, work organizations critical to Compression must greatly compress their learning cycles.âF1CEB7

Compression vs. Expansion Thinking »
Compression vs. Expansion Thinking
Compression vs. Expansion ThinkingâIn Compression we must learn to guide our actions using physical measurements before applying financial ones. This applies to all organizations: for-profit, non-profit, and government. Because this turns expansionary economic thinking upside down, Compression is primarily a human challenge.âFFB597

Compression "Technomics" »
Compression "Technomics"
Compression "Technomics"âIf we are to improve quality of life while drastically cutting resource use and its unintended consequences, the decision-making methodologies of working organizations have to emphasize this. It cannot be a side issue, nice when we get around to it. âFFB597

Process Compression »
Process Compression
Process CompressionâStart with aggressive conservation: eliminate process waste; redesign to use minimal resources. Then improve qualitative effects, not just for clients, but for everyone. Reduce the unwanted side effects of technology on the world outside the orbits of its producers and suppliers. âFFB597

Can be done at any scale
Can be done at any scaleâScales up from micro-size, like biological cells, to macro-sizes, like ecosystems -- or even galaxies. Capturing input-output may or may not be simple, but better to approximate something important than to measure things less important with false precision.âFFB597

Full Life Cycle Conversion Processes »
Full Life Cycle Conversion Processes
Full Life Cycle Conversion ProcessesâConsiderable insight can be gained from a life cycle analysis over a full life cycle of a product or process, cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle. This examines its physical effects, not its profitability. And it may need to project quality effects hundreds of years into the future.âFFB597

Qualitative as Well as Quantitative Analysis »
Qualitative as Well as Quantitative Analysis
Qualitative as Well as Quantitative AnalysisâMass-energy balance provokes ideas to reduce total resource footprints. However, the nature of inputs and outputs must also be examined. Strive not to use or generate hazardous materials, and try to set up fail-safe means to preclude the release of those deemed necessary to use.âFFB597

Relationship to Process Kaizen »
Relationship to Process Kaizen
Relationship to Process KaizenâLean practitioners can think of this as rolling every value stream map into one exercise and putting input-output measures on it. And the objective is a large-scale version of every process kaizen: Eliminate all the resource waste one can find.âFFB597
