Determination of Parameters for Sustainability Assessment of Hollow Fiber Membrane Module Life Cycle

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sustainability assessment has received increasing attention in academic, industry and government over the past decades. There are varieties of sustainability assessment has been developed in difference methodology and it is application. In this paper, sustainability assessment using indicators has been introduced for hollow fiber membrane module life cycle. In addition, this paper discussing the determination of proper parameters involved in developing methodology for assessing its sustainability. In order to balancing the sustainability, 3D of sustainability aspect will be considered; environmental, economical and social.
