| Contents Notes |
This report presents an estimate of the costs that would be incurred by the organic chemicals industry in attaining various levels of pollution abatement over a five-year period and gives a generalized methodology by which similar continuing estimates can be made for other water-using industries. Cost estimates have been based upon published data, general data derived from information in the files of the Contractors on industrial waste treatment methods and costs, and specific data from 53 organic chemicals plants; the latter specific data were used to verify the applicability and accuracy of the former and also to develop and test the generalized methodology. It should be emphasized that the total costs given in this report are for the construction and operation of waste treatment facilities for the industry as a whole and cannot be used to determine costs for individual plants. Organic chemicals plants vary greatly in size, level of technology, product mix, etc., and a "typical" or "average" plant exists only in a statistical sense. The costs given are, in general, for waste treatment facilities only, i.e., for "battery limit" industrial waste treatment plants. The costs entailed in process changes, disruption of plant operations, sewer segregation, monitoring and reporting waste treatment efficiency, etc., particularly in older plants, are not included. Such costs are practically impossible to estimate in the aggregate and may add 40 percent or more to the installed costs of facilities. Total costs for particular plants can only be estimated by detailed engineering studies; the unit costs in this report should be of value to engineers in making such estimates. |
