Economic analysis of model KH 16/24 shredder system with and without resource recovery

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:6780379

The basic cost considerations deemed necessary in generating the economics of solid waste/shredder resource recovery facilities are reviewed. The system contains four Allis-Chalmers Model KH 16/24 shredders, each with a nominal rating of 50 tons per hour at a 3-in. particle size. The study is not an attempt to define system costs over any given geographic area, but rather a series of cost data based on assumptions and estimates that will change with each area under study. The use of the report is visualized as a working model, whereby local labor rates, climatic conditions, construction costs, utility rates, interest rates, and the like may be substituted to obtain a more reasonable ''local condition'' cost estimate. The analysis is in no way intended to formulate an exact cost analysis, but rather ballpark numbers to be more definitively scrutinized as a project evolves. Certain costs pertaining to and extracted from existing facilities have been used to obtain the most reasonable estimates. It is intended to be used by Allis-Chalmers personnel and its clients to aid them in the formulation of their solid waste studies and systems analysis.
