The facility costs are based on the concept of a mobile remote repair facility. The advantages of this concept are low-cost, minimal shielding requirements, and flexible use of the overall repair facility. The main components for a remote repair are the electron accelerator, the power supply, and the robotic control system including the remote video system. Table 14 shows the estimated costs for these main components. 

The capital cost of an IGCC plant for biomass or coal IS in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 per installed kW. A comparable natural gas fire facility costs about 750 to 1,000. The economics of biomass electricity based on IGCC technology depend on the relative cost of natural gas and biomass fuels. Biomass must be lower m cost than gas to pay back the additional capital cost of gas production and cleaning. A 1999 estimate suggestes that the biomass would have to be 3 per million Btiis cheaper than natural gas for biomass to be economical. 

Resource Diversion. First in the negative area is resource diversion or the diverting of facilities, costs and personnel from their characteristic functions toward some compliance effort. One of the reasons that quantification of impacts associated with TSCA is difficult, is that the... 

The first step in good pretreatment practice is the segregation of major wastewater streams. This frequently simplifies waste treating problems as well as reducing treatment facility costs. Treatment at the source is also helpful in recovering byproducts that otherwise would not be economically recovered from combined wastes downstream [35]. Four major pretreatment processes that are applicable to individual process effluents or groups of effluents within a refinery are sour water stripping, spent caustics treatment, ballast water separation, and slop oil recovery. These are discussed below. 

During a full-scale remediation of 10,000 tons of contaminated soil and sludge at a Louisiana petroleum refining facility, costs were estimated at 40 per ton. The cleanup involved of both in situ and ex situ techniques (D10103H, pp. 23-15).

Occupancy expenses such as rent, utilities, and other facility costs often are allocated using a square-footage allocation method. Under this method, costs are allocated to the prescription department using the percentage of the store square footage occupied by the prescription department. For Good Service Pharmacy, this percentage is 25.8 percent.

Figure 8 is based upon essentially the same data as Figure 7 but plotted as a sensitivity to percentage change in estimated facilities cost. This emphasizes the greater sensitivity of the more capital-intensive processes to this parameter. 

Utilities for supplying steam, water, power, compressed air, and fuel are part of the service facilities of an industrial plant. Waste disposal, fire protection, and miscellaneous service items, such as shop, first aid, and cafeteria equipment and facilities, require capital investments which are included under the general heading of service-facilities cost. 

Some noteworthy similarities exist between wind energy systems and CPV systems.9 They both employ relatively common materials, particularly steel. Wind system costs are typically less than 1 per watt they depend mainly on the cost of steel, whereas flat-plate PV is linked to the availability and cost of expensive semiconductor silicon. But solar concentrator structures are also amenable to an auto-assembly type of production (see Fig. 5), and CPV developers estimate CPV production facility costs are much closer to those of wind systems than to those of flat-plate PV production facilities. In early EPRI cost studies, CPV production facility costs were estimated (on the same costing basis as the crystalline and amorphous silicon facilities) to be about 28 million for a 100 MW per year installation—about one-quarter the cost of the conventional silicon PV facilities.10 These lower investment costs can lead to a faster scale-up of manufacturing facilities because investor risk is relatively smaller than the risks entailed in investing in conventional PV production facilities. 

Based on the data provided by the installations involved and the design data developed for the facility, the Huntsville District Corps of Engineers assembled a team of estimators at the DARCOM Ammunition Center and prepared facility cost estimates. 

This chart (Figure 24) reflects the combination of the facility cost estimate together with the equipment cost estimate tailored to stocks currently located at the installations. The deletion of the non-explosive wings from the Anniston, Lexington-Blue Grass and Pueblo facilities is reflected in the facility and equipment costs. 

Given factors discnssed above, the choice of HCS system shonld probably be driven by software qnality, then resolution and speed. Once the list is narrowed, qnality of service, data storage facility, cost, ability to be automated, and reliability need to be factored into the final decision.
