Description:
Volume I is a user guide for a standard procedure for the engineering cost analysis of pollution abatement operations and processes. The procedure applies to projects in various economic sectors: private, regulated, and public. The models are consistent with cost evaluation practices in engineering economy and financial analysis. It presents a recommended format, termed the Specification, that should not exceed eight pages when executed. The guidelines facilitate the choice of procedures open to the estimator and the establishment of factors to be used in the evaluation. The Specification has three segments: descriptive, cost analysis, and reliability assessment.
