Integration of life cycle sustainability assessment and process simulation to achieve an eco-design in linear alpha olefin (LAO) plant

Key Points

• Achieving eco-design through integration reduces the overall environmental footprint of LAO production.
• This integration highlights sustainability metrics, focusing on energy and resource efficiency during production processes.
• An analysis of LAO manufacturing processes demonstrates significant improvements in sustainability outcomes through systematic assessments.
• The findings suggest that enhanced eco-design strategies can lead to more responsible industrial practices and product innovations.
