VIKOR - P-graph Method for Optimal Synthesis of Philippine Agricultural Waste-Based Sustainable Integrated Biorefinery

A sustainable integrated biorefinery (SIBR) is a biomass processing facility that converts agricultural wastes or residues into a wide range of valuable products where both economic sustainability and environmental sustainability are optimized. This work proposed a hybrid method that incorporates Vl...
