Enhanced decision technique for optimized crude oil pretreatment under disc spherical fuzzy Aczel Alsina aggregation information

Abstract

Abstract Crude oil, the backbone of modern industry, holds unparalleled significance as a global energy cornerstone. Unlocking its potential hinges on effective pretreatment techniques, ensuring purity, and maximizing efficiency. This study extends the established Spherical Fuzzy Set paradigm to explore the domain of Disc Spherical Fuzzy Sets (D-SFSs) in critical decision-making for crude oil preparation. Investigating D-SFSs within the Aczel Alsina norm, the research employs comparison rules, conversion rules, and distance metrics. Primary operations of the Aczel Alsina norm in D-SFSs are examined, laying the groundwork for introducing unique aggregation operations within this framework. The paper’s primary aim is to propose a hybrid method, termed MEREC-SWARA-MARCOS-D-SFSs Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making, which integrates the aforementioned aggregation procedures. A case study on crude oil pretreatment validates the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison with CoCoSo underscores the reliability of the method. This study represents a significant stride in enhancing decision-making by providing a robust framework to tackle complex situations, particularly in the critical domain of crude oil pretreatment.
