Economic Analysis of the Rotary Kiln and Fluidized Bed P and E Incinerators

Abstract

In the evaluation of alternate systems, it is necessary to consider the economic factors associated with each system. The economic analysis of the rotary kiln versus the fluidized bed incinerator was performed using the present value unit cost method. The method considers capital costs, operating costs, time horizons, depreciation, interest and other related factors. In all cases considered, the fluidized bed incinerator was the preferred alternative.
