Modelling Environmental Impact Assessment Oil Refineries Analytical Hierarchy Process Sustainable Development

Abstract

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) consists of a large volume of quantitative and qualitative information that traditional methods struggle to present effectively. EIA is a crucial criterion for sustainable development and environmental management worldwide. Therefore, appropriate methods must be employed. This paper explores the application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in EIA, supporting full integration of quantitative and qualitative data to improve decision-making. Four oil refineries were selected as case studies, focusing on their construction and operation phases. Expert Choice 11 software was utilized for environmental impact assessments and decision-making procedures. The results enhance decision-making capabilities, facilitate the selection of optimal solutions, and provide a basis for future recommendations across three distinct phases. This approach to EIA demonstrates effective multidisciplinary decision-making for environmental impacts. With comprehensive calculations, graphical data, and consideration of existing environmental and refinery conditions, the study proposes innovative pathways for the Environmental Impact Assessment of oil refineries, integrating multiple criteria.
