Reconciliation of Present Value-Unit Costs and Uniform Annual Costs for Munitions Manufacturing Pink Wastewater Treatment Alternatives.

摘要

This study reviewed and analyzed the procedures, assumptions, economic factors, and the research capital and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) cost data used by two separate investigators in arriving at their respective least-cost preference ordering of munitions manufacturing (pink) wastewater treatment technologies through present value analysis. Estimated present value cost differences were identified and a reconciliation of these differences was conducted for three alternative technologies: Carbon Adsorption with Thermal Regeneration; without Regeneration; and, UV Ozone.
