| Abstract | This study was conducted to identify cleaner production options in the production process of frozen shrimp factory in Thailand. Currently, the frozen shrimp production was found to consume 2400 tons of shrimp, 979200 kWh of energy and 78000 cubic meter of treated deep ground water per year. The average annual production product was found to be1500 tons of frozen shrimp. By adopting available technology, such as use heat exchanger, insulation and modified some equipment to the productions process can save energy and water resources. Water consumption can reduce from 114 m 3 to 54 m 3 in the cleaning process that is the largest process to use water. Energy consumption can reduce from 630,888 kWh per year to 291,168 kWh per year. Also good house keeping practice must be taken all parts of production processes. The results show that, cleaner production can conserve energy and water about fifty percent leading to decrease of environmental impact Nowadays cleaner production is increasing being recognised as a crucial element in reconciling environmental and economic goals in the move towards sustainable development However many of developing countries have problem to promote cleaner production due lack the human, institutional, technical and financial capacity .To solve the problems. It could be have the workshop discussion center around the role that development assistance and technology co-operation can play in helping developing countries in their efforts to mange technological change for cleaner production. |
