This study case was carried out using realistic combustion gas measurements and experimental results. The traditional process and the addition of one or two hopper blower (HB) devices provided the three scenarios for this study, which were evaluated quantitatively using a set of metric indicators for potential impacts while applying a “cradle-to-gate” approach. A decreasing trend was observed for most values of the potential impact categories when the device was used. An opportunity to improve the traditional process by adding this device has been identified, as a reduction in the environmental impact categories has been observed. The study suggests that the LCA tool may be valuable for quantifying the environmental impacts of improvements in the processes. 2019 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37060163017 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163017/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163017/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163017/37060163017.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37060163017/movil https://doi.org/10.20937/RICA.2019.35.01.14 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.1 Vol.35 |
