چکیده

در این مقاله، روش فرایند تحلیل سلسله مراتبی (AHP) که مبتنی بر دانش کارشناسی است، برای انتخاب بهترین فرایند تصفیه بی‌هوازی فاضلاب در شهرکهای صنعتی مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. این روش برای تصمیم‌گیری‌های چند معیاره پیچیده، به‌منظور دستیابی به نتایج علمی و قابل قبول استفاده می‌شود. فرایندهای تصفیه بی‌هوازی، شامل بستر لجن بی‌هوازی با جریان رو به بالا (UASB)، راکتور بی‌هوازی بستر ثابت با جریان رو به بالا (UAFB)، راکتور بافلدار بی‌هوازی (ABR)، فرایند تماس بی‌هوازی و لاگون بی‌هوازی است. این گزینه‌ها، بر اساس معیارهای فنی، اقتصادی، زیست‌محیطی و مدیریتی و زیر معیارهای مربوطه وزن‌دهی شد و نتایج با استفاده از نرم افزار Expert Choice مورد بررسی و ارزیابی قرار گرفت. بر این اساس فرایندهای UAFB، ABR، UASB، لاگون بی‌هوازی و فرایند تماس بی‌هوازی به‌ترتیب در اولویتهای اول تا پنجم قرار گرفتند. در نهایت، تحلیل حساسیت که اثر تغییرات پارامترهای ورودی روی نتایج را نشان می‌دهد، برای معیارهای اصلی فنی، اقتصادی، زیست‌محیطی و مدیریتی انجام گرفت.

چکیده [English]

In this paper, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method that is based on expert knowledge is used for the selection of the optimal anaerobic wastewater treatment process in industrial estates. This method can be applied for complicated multi-criteria decision making to obtain reasonable results. The different anaerobic processes employed in Iranian industrial estates consist of UASB, UAFB, ABR, Contact process, and Anaerobic Lagoons. Based on the general conditions in wastewater treatment plants in industrial estates and on expert judgments and using technical, economic, environmental, and administrative criteria, the processes are weighted and the results obtained are assessed using the Expert Choice Software. Finally, the five processes investigated are ranked as 1 to 5 in a descending order of UAFB, ABR, UASB, Anaerobic Lagoon, and Contact Process. Sensitivity analysis showing the effects of input parameters on changes in the results was applied for technical, economic, environmental, and administrative criteria.
