  7. Abstract:
  8. The environmental impact of process plants is one of the causes of the environmental disturbance in the world. Including the effects of these destructive impacts can be mentioned to the phenomena such as global warming, climate change, severe air pollution and water shortage. Hence, the economic justification of a process, without the review of relevance of its environmental impacts, it does not lead to the implementation and construction of a process plant. For this reason, it is a requirement to provide a software platform (preferably object-oriented) for quick and automatic checking of this item and the exact determining of these effects. On the other hand, due to the complexity of the process plant, integration of different parts of process and the interaction of the economic, operational and environmental factors of these units, necessitates the optimization of the Multi-objective functions of the process plant before construction. In which the primary objective functions should include economic, operational, environmental measures. In this work, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of various industries has been ontologically studied. This study is based on Unified Modeling Langauge (UML) and resulted in an application ontology for EIA. Furthermore, Methanol production plant has been used as a case study through which the application of proposed ontology has been illustrated. It is concluded that the ontology has the capability to enhance the operability and information sharing among different sections. Utilizing this strategy, one can use analytical tools such as optimization algorithms in a simpler way and make more flexible models for problems
