Abstract

This paper applied the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) technique and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) procedure to evaluate the wastewater treatment for enterprises. Based on the characteristics of wastewater treatment for enterprises in Taihu basin, an evaluating index system was established for enterprise and analysis hierarchy process method was applied to determine index weight. Then the AHP and FCE methods were combined to validate the wastewater treatment level of 3 representative enterprises. The results show that the evaluation grade of enterprise 1, enterprise 2 and enterprise 3 was middle, good and excellent, respectively. Finally, the scores of 3 enterprises were calculated according to the hundred-mark system, and enterprise 3 has the highest wastewater treatment level, followed by enterprise 2 and enterprises 1. The application of this work can make the evaluation results more scientific and accurate. It is expected that this work may serve as an assistance tool for managers of enterprise in improving the wastewater treatment level.

Highlights

  • As the third largest freshwater lake in China, Taihu plays an important role in flood control, water supply, and fishery in Yangtze River Delta region

  • It can be seen from data that enterprise 3 has the smallest values for unit product COD, NH3-N, Total phosphorus (TP) and Total nitrogen (TN) discharge compared to enterprise 1 and enterprise 2, which means that the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) evaluation results of the enterprise 3 was in a better level, followed by enterprise 2 and enterprise 1

  • (1) According to the characteristics of industrial wastewater treatment in Taihu Basin, 12 index of wastewater treatment evaluation system for enterprises was constructed from three aspects
