"Life cycle cost information is an important element in selecting hazardous waste treatment and disposal technologies. This project evaluates the technologies and costs of wastes from the organic/inorganic chemicals, and the electroplating and metal finishing industries for 16 alternative treatment and 5 alternative disposal methods. Capital and operation/ maintenance costs were calculated for each process by using computer models. Final cost comparisons of treatment/disposal technologies for similar waste streams were then made. Risks associated with each technology were qualitatively assessed in terms of susceptibility to catastrophic events, unexpected downtime, and adverse environmental impacts." |
