Evaluation of Iranian Chemical Industries

Abstract

KeywordsDecision-making models Iranian chemical industries Assessment Evaluator team DEA EIA Screening of projects.The chemical industry is part of the industries, which supply the chemicals needed by other industries through the conversion of raw materials into the required products. The current cluster study of Iranian Chemical Industries (ICI) encompassed all input and output materials streams, ICI energy demands and technologies applied based on the assessment carried out by both Iranian Industries Organization (IIO) and Iranian Environment Protection Agency (IEPA). Then the raw data were empirically evaluated via traditional to novel decision-making models, SPSS software and Excel 2013 to make a decision about the classification of ICI and pave the way for further industrial ecology studies in a certain cluster as the objective of current research. T-test analysis had presented no significant difference among the main criteria of ICI such as the number of staff, power, water, and fuel demands and the land area occupied by ICI individually. Finally, the obtained values in the weighing and ranking systems and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was composed to classify ICI as a cluster ranking and prioritized them from the highest weighting value and efficiency score to the lowest one based on the main criteria and an inventory of availability.Contribution/Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of industrial projects conducted by the Iranian evaluator team. The screening of ICI scrutinized the existing properties of projects as a first report. The methodology employed traditionally to new decisionmaking models towards sustainable development of projects.

Technologies to Manage Used Automotive Oil Filters in Iran: A Review Study

“…The industrial data employed in the present review refers to the project identification steps expressed and investigated by the Iranian evaluator team of both the Iranian Industries Organization and Iranian Environment Protection in the EIA plan. EIA is an integral part of industrial projects in which in-charge organizations undertaken to prepare a report before the complete establishment of the projects in Iran and all over the world [28][29][30][31]. The research design included a single sample from each industrial cluster.…”

Transformer Oil Generation and Regeneration Techniques Based on Recent Developments (A Review)

“…The industrial data employed in the present review refers to the project identification steps expressed and investigated by evaluator teams in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) plan according to Figure 1. Tables associated with project requirements are devoted to the screening step of EIA [29,30]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that shares the data and technologies of TO generation and regeneration industries in EIA across Iran.…”
