Clean Technology in Process Engineering

What is Cleaner Production (CP)?

• A strategy to clean up pollution after it has been created

• A technology designed to prevent pollution and minimize waste at the source

• A method to treat waste before disposal

• A system for recycling used materials

What is the main goal of sustainable development?

• To limit the use of natural resources

• To compromise the ability of the present generation to meet their needs, thereby allowing future generations to meet their needs.

• To meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
• To protect environment by compromising the economical development

Which of the following is not a benefit of implementing Cleaner Production (CP)?

• Less energy consumption

• Less production yield

• Reduced waste and pollution

• Less cost

The three pillars of sustainable development are:

• Economic, Social, and Cultural

• Environmental, Social, and Economic

• Technological, Social, and Political

Why is Cleaner Production (CP) important for businesses?

• CP helps businesses reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, improve efficiency, save costs, enhance reputation, and comply with regulations.

• CP has no impact on businesses

• CP only benefits the environment, not businesses

• CP is too costly for businesses to implement

Which Pollution management approach involves minimal changes to existing processes to handle pollution?

• A) Proactive Approach

• B) Reactive Approach

• C) Passive Approach

• D) Preventive Approach

Which of the following is a key difference between Cleaner Production (CP) and end-of-pipe treatment?

• A) CP focuses on pollution prevention at the source, while end-of-pipe treatment addresses pollution after it has been created

• B) CP is more expensive than end-of-pipe treatment

• C) End-of-pipe treatment reduces waste generation, whereas CP increases waste

• D) End-of-pipe treatment improves process efficiency, while CP does not
