Abstract
Formal methods for designing cleaner, more economic processes are reviewed. As an example of a currently applicable method that has already proved its worth in practice, the panel-based “Environmental Critical Examination” methodology is described in reasonable detail. Computer aids to process design synthesis are more briefly reviewed. It is concluded that, alongside human ingenuity, these formal methods will play an increasing role in developing the radically improved processes that will be required to replace the current generation of processes.
