| Summary: | Sustainability nowadays has become new evolution of quality and efficiency indicator for
product and process. Key performance of certain product or process need to be quantified
throughout it is life cycle. Polymer processing is one of the chemical processes that need attention
in term of sustainability. Hence this paper presents the development of sustainability framework for
assessing the sustainability performance of hollow fiber membrane module by considering the
reaction of each raw material and process involved. Assessment was carried out by applying fuzzy
logic approach by developing its linguistic variables and fuzzy code according the requirement. A
framework to assess the sustainability performance for hollow fiber membrane processing was
proposed in order to identify its sustainability score for each sustainability element; environmental,
economical and social. |
