Abstract

This study focuses on the recovery of energy and materials from solid waste at a coal-burning steam-electric plant located in a nonmetropolitan county in Northeast Ohio. The results of the analysis suggest that the resource recovery prototype involving a new solid waste processing facility and modification of the existing steam-electric plant is an economically feasible investment. This conclusion is substantiated by sensitivity analysis of five key technical and economic parameters under four alternative benefit-cost and internal rate of return criteria.
