Life cycle comparison of waste-to-energy alternatives for municipal waste treatment in Chilean Patagonia

The energy system in the Region of Aysén, Chile, is characterized by a strong dependence on fossil fuels, which account for up to 51% of the installed capacity. Although the implementation of waste-to-energy concepts in municipal waste management systems could support the establishment of a more fossil-independent energy system for the region, previous studies have concluded that energy recovery systems are not suitable from an economic perspective in Chile. Therefore, this work intends to evaluate these technical options from an environmental perspective, using life cycle assessment as a tool for a comparative analysis, considering Coyhaique city as a case study. Three technical alternatives were evaluated: (i) landfill gas recovery and flaring without energy recovery; (ii) landfill gas recovery and energy use; and (iii) the implementation of an anaerobic digestion system for the organic waste fraction coupled with energy recovery from the biogas produced. Mass and energy balances of the three analyzed alternatives have been modeled. The comparative LCA considered global warming potential, abiotic depletion and ozone layer depletion as impact categories, as well as required raw energy and produced energy as comparative regional-specific indicators. According to the results, the use of the recovered landfill gas as an energy source can be identified as the most environmentally appropriate solution for Coyhaique, especially when taking into consideration the global impact categories.

Concept, Design and Implementation of Automatic Waste Management System

One of the main concerns with our environment has been solid waste management which in addition to disturbing the balance of the environment also has adverse effects on the health of the society. The detection, monitoring and management of wastes is one of the primary problems of the present era. The traditional way of manually monitoring the wastes in waste bins is a complex, cumbersome process and utilizes more human effort, time and cost which is not compatible with the present day technologies in any wa y. This paper proposes an advanced method in which waste management is automated. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the most promising and anticipated technologies in recent years. The system makes use of radio frequency (RF) tags and web sup port. This work presented here certainly provides a novel approach in handling and disposing off the day to day solid wastes in an efficient and easy way. The system consists of four main subsystems namely Smart Trash System (STS), Local Base Station (LBS) , Smart Vehicle System (SVS) and Smart Monitoring and Controlling Hut (SMCH). The proposed system would be able to automate the solid waste monitoring process and management of the overall collection process. The technologies that would be used in the prop osed system are good enough to ensure the practical and perfect for solid waste collection process monitoring and management for green environment.

The strategic role of Engineering Asset Management

The current concept of an asset management (AM) system focuses on the lifecycle of engineered assets and little has been done in the literature on its link to organizational strategy. In this paper, the AM system′s position within an organizational structure and its role in competitive strategy has been explored. Two case studies involving AM have been analyzed using a proposed framework which is comprised of a set of planning and control activities maintaining a control mechanism and a relationship with the strategy-making process. It is argued that the AM system structure and the mechanism play a key role in the organizational strategy. The existence of the AM system is hypothesized by this framework which stipulates the asset performance required for strategic success. The use of this framework allows for conclusions to be drawn on the requirements for building an effective connection between AM activities and strategy development. This connection is achieved through planning and control mechanisms acting on the asset-related activities. On one hand, the effect of inadequate or missing elements of the framework has been shown to result in negative impacts on cost, productivity, quality, business outcomes and ultimately strategy achievement. On the other hand, the existence of elements of this framework has been shown to have positive impacts on strategy achievement.

Status of implementation of safety, quality and environmental management systems in Saudi Arabian industries

ISO achieved global acceptance through continued experiential outcomes in support of its benefits. The ISO standard focuses on quality and the stance of the ISO was that occupational safety, health and hygienic well-being are derived benefits of quality standards implementation. Nevertheless, incidents like the Columbia Shuttle accident and the nuclear disasters in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl prompted experts to think otherwise. Increasing occurrences of occupational hazards in petrochemical, manufacturing, chemical and nuclear plants compelled the ‘quality gurus’ to seek more explicit standards to handle them. Consequently, safety and environmental standards were developed. Soon the need to integrate these standards arose due to the complexity of maintaining such systems separately. Though integrated management systems have not been as popular as individual systems, industries are keen to know more about them. In this context, the authors studied and analysed the status of management systems in Saudi Arabian industries. A nationwide survey covering 314 companies in five industrial regions was conducted. Results revealed that though individual systems are plentiful, their implementation is generally unproductive and the concept of integration has not gained much acceptance. The authors suggest state-driven awareness campaigns organised on a massive scale to popularise the concept of management systems and their integration.

LCA in Environmental Management Systems—Results of Individual Interviews with Selected Enterprises from Poland and Sweden

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analytical tool used for the environmental optimization of products and services within the entirety of its life cycle. ISO 14040 recommends use of the technique in numerous areas of environmental management such as in designing for the environment, eco-labelling, environmental communications and the assessment of the effects of environmental activities. Despite being theoretically feasible, certain applications of the ecological assessment of a life cycle such as the possibility of identification and evaluation of environmental aspects with the use of LCA are, in practice, still new to many environmental managers. With its strong points, the technique seems to be a valuable tool, especially in the context of apparent concepts of Product-Oriented Environmental Management Systems (POEMS). In order to verify the hypothesis, the author decided to verify the level of use of LCA in the area of identification and assessment of environmental aspects in selected organizations. Therefore, questionnaire interviews were conducted with representatives of selected Polish and Swedish enterprises who, at the time of the interview, had certified environmental management systems. The organizations were analyzed with respect to applied methods and techniques used for identification and assessment of environmental aspects as well as the degree of use of LCA both in this respect and in other areas of environmental management. This paper will present the results of this research and conclusions.

Study of Safety Auditors’ Views on the Use of BIM for Safety in Hong Kong

Traditionally site safety is a concern for the Architectural, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry. In view of government of Hong Kong initiating a number of large scale AEC projects and a relative high number of serious accidents continue to occur, site safety will remain an issue for the local AEC. Recently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) or digital simulation and data management software have been attracting much attention both in Hong Kong and in the international sector. It is a notable question to ask “Is it possible to use BIM to improve site safety in Hong Kong?” For over ten years now, the concept of Safety Management System (SMS) has been adopted in Hong Kong as the strategy for site safety management systems. It is commonly accepted in Hong Kong the drive to establish, implement and monitor SMS comes from registered safety officer (RSO) and registered safety auditor (RSA). Thus, in theory views of safety auditors on the use of BIM for safety can reflect whether or not BIM is effective tool to improve site safety. In this paper, the SMS regulation in Hong Kong will be briefly outlined and then results of a survey of members of the Society of Accredited Safety Auditor (SASA) in Hong Kong will be presented. It is concluded that 78% of the respondents to this study believe there is benefit for using BIM for SMS and commonly respondents refer to using BIM for visualization of construction sequences and planning of hazard controls. This study provides the background to a wider investigation of the linkage between BIM and Health and Safety Management.

Risk Management in Connection with Acquisitions Using the Example of the TÜV NORD Group

The legislator has left open the operationalizat ion of the risk management system in enterprises; they are not compelled to imp lement a certain standard approach. Therefore enterprises are using different types of risk management systems. Aim of the paper is to describe the development of risk management system and main princip les of TUV NORD and also TUV SUD - who has been using its risk management system for mo re than 10 years and which was imp lemented by the authors. It has been constantly developed by authors collaboration further and co mplemented by new insights, gained fro m world -wide imp lemented acquisitions. The concept of the risk management system must assure that all relevant risks that might affect an enterprise especially in connection with acquisitions and not only with operational business are identified. Therefore a systematic process, which will be exp lained in the paper, has been chosen by the authors to provide the risk identification with a definit ion of the risk levels and the risk fields. It can be expected that in the future the economic significance of a mean ingful risk management - especially in light of the technology development in connection with increasing of complexity, the globalisation of the industry and therefore the legal requirements - as a value-oriented instrument in the management of an enterprise will further increase.

The Reliability-Quality Relationship for Quality Systems and Quality Risk Management

Engineering reliability typically refers to the probability that a system, or any of its components, will perform a required function for a stated period of time and under specified operating conditions. As such, reliability is inextricably linked with time-dependent quality concepts, such as maintaining a state of control and predicting the chances of losses from failures for quality risk management. Two popular current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) and quality risk management tools, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and root cause analysis (RCA) are examples of engineering reliability evaluations that link reliability with quality and risk. Current concepts in pharmaceutical quality and quality management systems call for more predictive systems for maintaining quality; yet, the current pharmaceutical manufacturing literature and guidelines are curiously silent on engineering quality. This commentary discusses the meaning of engineering reliability while linking the concept to quality systems and quality risk management. The essay also discusses the difference between engineering reliability and statistical (assay) reliability. The assurance of quality in a pharmaceutical product is no longer measured only "after the fact" of manufacturing. Rather, concepts of quality systems and quality risk management call for designing quality assurance into all stages of the pharmaceutical product life cycle. Interestingly, most assays for quality are essentially static and inform product quality over the life cycle only by being repeated over time. Engineering process reliability is the fundamental concept that is meant to anticipate quality failures over the life cycle of the product. Reliability is a well-developed theory and practice for other types of manufactured products and manufacturing processes. Thus, it is well known to be an appropriate index of manufactured product quality. This essay discusses the meaning of reliability and its linkages with quality systems and quality risk management.

The architecture of a digital forensic readiness management system

A coordinated approach to digital forensic readiness (DFR) in a large organisation requires the management and monitoring of a wide variety of resources, both human and technical. The resources involved in DFR in large organisations typically include staff from multiple departments and business units, as well as network infrastructure and computing platforms. The state of DFR within large organisations may therefore be adversely affected if the myriad human and technical resources involved are not managed in an optimal manner. This paper contributes to DFR by proposing the novel concept of a digital forensic readiness management system (DFRMS). The purpose of a DFRMS is to assist large organisations in achieving an optimal level of management for DFR. In addition to this, we offer an architecture for a DFRMS. This architecture is based on requirements for DFR that we ascertained from an exhaustive review of the DFR literature. We describe the architecture in detail and show that it meets the requirements set out in the DFR literature. The merits and disadvantages of the architecture are also discussed. Finally, we describe and explain an early prototype of a DFRMS.
