A new approach on applied Information and Automation Technologies looking for industrial processes sustainability

Abstract: This research intends to emphasize potash significance to humanity due to its impacts when applied as fertilizer on crops for producing food and detailing of process methods for its obtainment. Furthermore, main sustainability indicators and international models of reports considered by major potash producers were presented and analyzed. Aiming to contribute for a cleaner production in the path of science and technology, this paper presents TAIMISEP methodology, acronym for Automation and Information technologies methodology for improving sustainability indicators on potash extraction. TAIMISEP implementation aims to increase productivity and potash production, as synergic result from reducing electrical energy demand and environmental impacts mitigation. TAIMISEP methodology incorporates and adapts premises from methodologies: MAPEAS, Züge (2014) and MPCTAI, Silva (2013), integrated with research and available data on technical literature.
