ABSTRACT

The scope of industrialization and energy usage requires efficient and environmentally friendly energy generation techniques to reduce the effects of energy production on the environment. This research specifically deals with enhancing the efficiency of the WtE boiler operating at the KIP while carting the industrial symbiotic phenomena between the apparel sector and the IV fluid Manufacturing facility located within the demarcated boundary for the KIP. This component has a comprehensive LCA and highly efficient boiler efficiency improvement techniques. The present performance of the WtE boiler in terms of fuel utilization and emissions is evaluated and areas of optimization are examined. Using a combination of waste fuels including wood chips, fabric offcuts, cardboard, and paper the study assesses greenhouse emissions, resource utilization, and emissions to the air. Performance improvements proposed by the LCA involve a strategic fuel input, improvement in fuel burn rate, and exhaust emission through select catalytic reduction and better pollution control technologies. Moreover, this study also encourages industrial symbiosis in KIP by utilizing industries’ waste as fuel sources, thereby encouraging sustainability and the circular economy. Therefore, these findings are favorable in decreasing the environmental impacts of energy production while enhancing business profitability.
