The cost of a hot water generator plant utilizing stoker firing was estimated. A conceptual design was prepared for a plant producing 250,000 pounds per hour of 350/sup 0/F saturated water. This is equivalent to a plant output of 25,000,000 BTU/hour. As designed, the plant is moderately sophisticated, and is designed for low operating and maintenance costs. Requirements of a specific user, site, and application could increase or decrease capital costs significantly. Operating and maintenance costs were estimated, based on a semi-independently operating plant. These also are very dependent on the specific site and operation. A summary of the capital and operating and maintenance costs is presented.
