Figure 20: The Analysis Path from R&D to Deployment
In most cases, developing analysis products is an iterative process using outputs from several different
assessments. One example, a technical assessment of a process design, is shown in Figure 21. From a
chosen process design, parameters are identified and data collected or assumptions made. As the project
progresses, more information is available and a progressively more robust assessment can be made.
Optimization also occurs by recycling the results of the economic and environmental analyses steps back
to alter the process design and mass and energy balances.
