| Summary: | 碩士 === 立德管理學院 === 資源環境研究所 === 93 === The majority of industrial areas in Taiwan are mixed industrial parks with open-loop manufacturing processes. Open-loop processes involve single-direction energy and materials flow, thus a high percentage of the resources are discarded during the transport, in the mean time, creating wastes and pollution problems. With an objective of reducing energy consumption and waste production, this study accessed the methodology of integrating a mixed industrial park into a closed-loop system with efficient resources recycling.
Based on the concepts of industrial ecology, eco-industrial parks, and industrial symbiosis, the manufacture processes of the petrochemical and metallurgical plants in the Lin-Hai Industrial Park were analyzed and then an energy and mass conservation mathematical model was developed.
The analysis of some economical cases with the mathematical model showed that locally available resources are cheaper and cleaner than those purchased outside. Resources exchange between plants needs to be expanded to include more items than the current exchange involving only gases. A survey was performed to evaluate the manufacturers’views on the resource integration program. Although most manufacturers realize its importance, they were reluctant to join the program for lack of resources exchange information and governmental initiatives.
