Abstract

Rational use of natural resources is one of the priority areas of scientific research. Modern principles of ecological regulation of industrial enterprises activity are based on the concept of the best available techniques (the BAT), i.e. the most effective new techniques that provide the highest level of environmental protection and have reached the level that makes their implementation in the relevant sector of the industry being possible. Development and improvement of formal models and methods of the BAT identification remain the actual task. The main used approach is to compare the given alternative technologies and to choose a single technology using the methodology of multi-criteria decision making. The BAT concept does not require using the certain technology, but sets the values of permissible emissions. That is why the combination of technologies without a priori limitation of the use of only one of them can be more effective. This paper considers the task of the BAT determining at the level of installation and a new model of fuzzy mathematical programming is proposed, which allows by selecting a combination of operations of various technologies, including a large number of stages, to minimize the operational costs of the enterprise. Emissions levels and costs corresponding to individual operations are appeared by fuzzy numbers. An illustrative example shows that the use of the model leads to the selection of a combination of operations that is efficient from the point of view of economic parameters and providing emission limits.
