Abstract
The capital costs of existing and proposed resource recovery facilities in the U.S.A. are analysed as a function of facility size and type. Empirical relationships are developed to relate capital costs of modular incinerators, heat-recovery incinerators, rotary combustors, and refuse-derived fuel facilities to design capacities. The scale factors are compared to published values. Economies of scale are not present except for small refuse-derived fuel and steam generating facilities handling less than 1000 tonne day-1.Keywords
