Abstract
This study focuses on the recovery of energy and materials from solid waste at a coal-burning steam-electric plant located in a nonmetropolitan countery in Northern Ohio. The results of the anlaysis sugget that the resource recovery prototype involving a new sold waste processing facility and modification of the existing steam-electric plant is an economically feasible investment. This conculusion is substantiated by sensitivity analysis of five key technical and economic parameters under four alternative benefit-cost and internal rate of return criteria.
