Abstract
The
purpose of industrial wastewater treatment technology selection is to provide
the best technology at the lowest cost.
It also is about sustainability. Authors describe a method that may be
used for wastewater treatment technology assessment and selection in an
industrial context. They focus on
biological wastewater treatment in a petrochemical company.
The technology assessment objectives are formulated as complexity,
generality, approach, lead time and resources, focus, as well as data used. The
objectives constitute criteria for the development of a technology assessment
method. They form a multi-criteria decision analysis technique to compare and
rank the wastewater treatment technology alternatives against the identified
technical, socio-economic and environmental objectives. Using a petrochemical
operation in South Africa as a case study, authors provide a systematic
analysis of eight wastewater treatment alternatives.
