The innovative decision-making DEMACSYS system was initially and primarily developed for radically improving environmental and economic performance of Shchekinoazot company and Moscow refinery.
However its generic structure enables us to apply it to solution of similar problems of companies in processing industries.
DEMACSYS basically consists of a Knowledge base of production rules, databases on emission sources, meteorological features and pollution indexes, and pollution distribution zone maps. As a co-ordinator of the project we have the expertise in all the parts of the DEMACSYS tool, which enables us to carry out its updates necessary for its application by other processing plants.
Wide range of processing plants in chemical, petrochemical, refinery, pulp and paper, metal and food industries within FSU as well as EU (especially new member states) will be considered as a potential market for the DEMACSYS tool. This will require updating the system to account for the specifics in different technologies, meteorological features and pollution levels. Licensing of the software as well as personnel training may be another option for disseminating the results.
