Development of the integrated environmental control model: Performance and cost models for fabric filters. Quarterly progress report, January--March 1994
The present report summarizes recent progress on the Phase I effort during the period January 1, 1994 through March 30, 1994. This report summarizes progress to date in refining the existing analytical models implemented in the IECM. In this report, the authors described the development of analytical models for the performance and costs of high-performance particulate control technologies, focusing on fabric filters. They pay special attention to developing models which can be used to estimate costs for systems whose performance is up to a factor of three below the present NSPS standards of 0.03 lb/MMBtu. Typically, the cost models relate the capital costs and the operating and maintenance (O&M) costs to process parameters and the costs of labor and materials. The capital cost models are anchored to a base capital cost for a specific size unit and adjusted according to the actual or design parameters. The performance models are constructed to estimate the process parameters for a desired level of emission control. The primary motivation for these models is to estimate the costs of complying with environmental standards on a basis which reflects recent advances in control technology. Finally, the authors incorporate the uncertainties in various process parameters and inputs costs so as to allow a more rational and robust basis for comparing different technologies. In the following sections the authors discuss the initial development of the performance and cost models for fabric filters followed by a numerical example which illustrates the use of these new models. The next quarterly report will provide a similar update of the IECM electrostatic precipitator models, plus a brief discussion of the comparative advantages of different particulate control.
