本研究背景為國營事業的肥料工廠，傳統肥料工廠民營化後的產業困境，面對政府相關部門組成的經營團隊，為了維持工廠運作及員工數量，引進污染性高、高耗能的化學溶劑純化製程，產生之廢棄物因處理成本高，因此於工廠到處堆置、排放產生惡臭，工廠之洗滌廢水因成分複雜難以回收，過多的閒置土地無具體開發計劃，除缺乏創新的變革等困難阻礙產業經營獲利。本研究主要動機為探究產業共生的規劃是否適用於肥料工廠，除了能源加大回收效率(如水資源回收再利用率)、廢棄物回收(農作廢棄物用於有機肥)為將產業共生具體架構規畫於肥料工廠進而評估商業的可行性。
產業共生(Industrial Ecology)一詞最早的起源是美國佛許(Frosch) 及蓋洛普勒斯(Gallopoulos)發表於1989年「科技的美國」（Scientific American）刊物，其基本的核心價值為能源利用最佳化及減少廢棄物。做為全台灣肥料產業龍頭(具有約70%的肥料市佔率)，面對中央機關「廢除核能發電」的能源政策，需配合興建火力發電廠的同時，產業共生的規劃除可兼顧核心產業，亦可善加利用電廠的廢棄物(二氧化碳、廢熱)，達到共生的核心價值。本研究以紫式決策分析架構為基礎，建立傳統有機肥料產業之共生績效評估模式，使用多項製造指標以衡量各附屬產品之生產效率，同時考量理論與實務的情況給予各項指標改善的方向與建議，以提昇肥料產業與火力電廠資源分配的決策品質。
本研究透過實證研究，探討英國糖業公司成功的產業共生機制的研究報告，該公司不但持續加強製糖的核心產業，並能善加利用製糖過程中所產生的各項廢棄物，並引用適當的商業模式，使回收廢棄物與獲利得以兼顧。本研究亦將火力電廠、有機肥料生產工廠、有機農作等系統作為共生系統規劃，期待可改善廢棄物資利用情況以及能源利用最佳化的產業共生工廠。

The background of this research is the fertilizer plant of the state-owned enterprise. After the privatization of the traditional fertilizer factory face the industrial dilemma. The management team of relevant government departments ,in order to maintain the operation of the plant and the number of employees, work for highly polluting and high-energy chemical solvents purification. The purification process produces wastes that are expensive to process. Therefore, they are piled up and discharged at the factory but produce odors. The washing wastewater of the factory is difficult to recycle due to complex composition. There are no specific development plans for excessive idle land and except for the lack of innovative changes. Impede the profitability of industrial operations. The main motivation of this study is to explore whether industrial symbiosis planning is applicable to fertilizer plants. In addition to energy increasing recycling efficiency (such as water reuse), waste recycling (agricultural waste used in organic fertilizer), for the specific structure of industrial symbiosis planning for fertilizer plants assess commercial viability. The main motivation of this study is to explore whether industrial planning is suitable for fertilizer plants. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the commercial viability by planning the specific structure of industry symbiosis in fertilizer plants.
The term "Industrial Ecology" was first published by Frosch and Gallopoulos in the 1989 scientific American publication, whose core values were energy use Optimize and reduce waste. As the Taiwan fertilizer industry leader (with 70% of the fertilizer market share), the face of the central authorities "abolition of nuclear power generation" energy policy, with the construction of thermal power plants at the same time, industrial symbiosis planning in addition to taking into account the core industries, But also good use of power plant waste (carbon dioxide, waste heat), to achieve the core value of symbiosis. Based on the UNISON decision analysis structure, this paper establishes the symbiotic performance evaluation model of the traditional organic fertilizer industry, uses a number of manufacturing indexes to measure the production efficiency of each subsidiary product, and considers the direction of the theory and practice. Recommendations to improve the fertilizer’s industries and power plant quality of resource allocation decisions.
Based on empirical research, this study explores the successful industry symbiosis mechanism of the British Sugar Company, which will not only continue to strengthen the core industries of sugar production, but also make good use of the waste generated in the process of sugar and refer to the appropriate Business model, so that waste recycling and profit can be taken into account. This report also plans power plants, organic fertilizer production plants, and organic farming systems as symbiotic systems. We look forward to industrial symbiosis factories that can improve the use of waste materials and optimize energy use.
