Mathematical modeling of resource symbiosis in industrial technology parks fr sustainable development

Abstract

          This research focuses on offering an innovative approach in order to solve a problem of resource management efficiently in industrial technology parks. Increasing industrialization, along with different kinds of environmental problems, make this question topical for our time because it deals with allocation of energy, water, and material resources effectively. Hence, the current research tries to consider resource flows in industries from the perspective of the phenomenon known as industrial symbiosis. In order to improve resource flows, a new model which combines system dynamics and multi-objective linear programming approaches has been designed. Simulation of this model demonstrates its ability to reduce the amount of virgin resources used up by 15-20% and the quantity of waste produced by 18%, while comparing them to the linear production model. Information technology aspect in relation to coordination of industrial processes should be considered. It can be concluded that this research is able to unite engineering and economic aspects of the issue under discussion.
