Election of ET

4. Election of ET Very important choice: Difficult task
ET not entailing excessive costs (economic viability BATNEEC)
An inadequate ET can affect business productivity
Effect on the overall competitiveness of the company
Difficult task
Wide range of available technologies
Requires advanced knowledge
Too much data to analyze:
Consumption
Emissions: air, water, waste
Environmental Risk
Economic costs …
Low availability of information about ET characterization
Assessment methodologies with advantages / disadvantages

Assessment methodologies 6

7. ET assessment Assessment methodologies:
Life Cycle Analysis (not available data)
Multicriteria decision making techniques:
MDMT simple: single hierarchy, technical merit, symbolic logic
MDMT complex: AHP, ANP, ELECTRE, TOPSIS, PRES, opportunity, cost assessment
Advantages of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process):
Useful for economic and other factors
Validated by numerous examples published
Intuitive, based on comparisons of pairs of elements
Combines opinion of a multidisciplinary team
Quick and objective results
Input data:
ET to assess / choose
Evaluation criteria
Supporting software: Superdecisions

8. ET assessment by AHP Possible criteria:
AHP scale for comparison of pairs 1
Equally important 3
Moderate importance of one over the other 5
Strong or demonstrated 7
Very strong or demonstrated importance 9
Extreme importance
2, 4, 6, 8
Intermediate values
Possible criteria:
Investment costs, maintenance costs, effects on water, on air, on public health, enterprise competitiveness, difficulty in handling, energy efficiency, resource consumption ...

9. Exercise S14-D2 ET assessment by AHP
2 technologies will be compared using the
methodology AHP environmental, filling the
attached tables, and using the scale of AHP values.
Assessment criteria matrix : the criteria are compared in pairs
2) Matrix of priorities will be matched according to
each criterion
3) Final matrix: individual judgments will be
geometrically averaged and the excel sheet will
be filled out
