New sustainability indices for product design employing environmental impact and risk reduction: case study on gasoline blends

New composite sustainability indices for the assessment of a chemical process in the conceptual design stage: case study on hydrogenation plant

“…Ordouei et al (2015) have presented a comprehensive case study (gasoline blends) using the same sustainability indices, which has several conflicts among the blends, and desperately used AHP to rank the blends. Readers are cordially encouraged to read the reference to find out more about AHP methodology and its application to the case study.…”

“…The objective of this paper is to extend the application of already introduced new composite sustainability indices (Ordouei et al, 2015) for the evaluation of alternatives at the early design stages of chemical processes. The new methodology is based on three indicator categories, which are environment (process streams and emissions), risks to process safety associated with process streams, and energy (utility consumptions within process and emissions).…”

“…The new sustainability indices have been already applied to product design (Ordouei et al, 2015). The aim of this case study is to evaluate the applicability of the proposed composite sustainability indices to process design alternatives.…”

“…Having said this constructive perspective of sustainability, Ordouei et al (2015) have introduced new sustainability indices for product design employing environmental and energy impacts and risk reduction associated with the new products.…”

Application of analytical hierarchy process for selecting an interior window blind

“…According to Ordouei, Elkamel, Dusseault and Alhajri (2015), CR should be smaller than 0.1 and 0.08 for matrices with n > 3 and n = 3 respectively. The CR is calculated following Eq.4 and Eq.5.…”
