Abstract :
Background and Objective: One of the main indicators of the development of countries and societies is the production and consumption of steel. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the threatening risks of Wian Steel Plant in 2016.
Material and Methodology: After identifying the risks, they were analyzed and ranked using the TOPSIS method. ANP method was used to determine the risk probability score. Finally, using TOPSIS method, the severity of the risk and the sources of risk contamination were calculated.
Findings: Based on the results of risk calculations in different categories, it can be stated that among the environmental risks of Wian Steel Plant, 14 risks in the minor to medium category and 3 risks in the unbearable category. Are located. Based on pairwise comparisons made in the Super Decisions software environment, the best solution among all solutions is to install particle and gas control devices such as cyclones and bag dust collectors and the least risk solution is to repair the devices in a timely manner to reduce emissions. Pollutants were identified.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of TOPSIS method showed that the stages of sanitary wastewater production and check and inspection of piping devices, water and gas transmission line are both very high risk level that can be eliminated by preventive and control measures. Or take action to reduce them.
