Abstract

The relevant question facing petrochemical manufacturing corporations in oil and gas rich developing countries is probably not whether ranking of foreign process technologies should be done, but rather how it should be accomplished and what criteria should be applied. In this paper a methodology based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is proposed to assist in this selection process
