Abstract
During the conceptual design phase the performance of a chemical process is fixed by defining the sequence of unit operations and choosing suitable equipment. A tool box supports a consistent data management and a quantitative assessment of process alternatives. From the viewpoint of sustainable development, the integration of ecological and social assessment methods remains fragmental whereas economic methods are fully developed. In this case study, three ecological assessment methods have been applied in order to explore their applicability within the conceptual design phase. Conclusions are drawn concerning the methods` usability, transferability and integration into the early process development stages.
