University dissertation from International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, Lund University

Abstract: This thesis analyses fluid management services (FMS) in metalworking
industry and determines environmental and economic outcomes of FMS as
compared to traditional, in-house, fluid management. Fluid management
services, or as it is often called chemical management services (CMS), mean
that the suppliers of chemicals are also involved in managing and
maintaining the fluids in the use phase. Usually one supplier is responsible
for managing all the different fluids on a site, but the management may be
restricted to some processes or fluids only.
