The study outputs include: (1) Basic information on residuals generation,control,disposal and costs developed from a data base including information on 738plants and 1920processing operations,covering 82different types; (2) a methodology for developing flexible modular cost-effectiveness simulation models,including typical costs for 24residual management methods including in-plant,end-of-pipe and disposal, (3) the development and testing of both linear and dynamic programming techniques to optimize plant level residual management,and (4) the identification of concepts and methods to extend the data and methods developed in this study for use in regional analyses of residual management. 收起
