2.3 COSTS AND COST EFFECTIVENESS OF NO CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES<br />
x<br />
Capital and annualized operating costs as well as cost<br />
effectiveness were determined for technologies for which detailed<br />
costs could be developed: Low NO burner, mid-kiln firing<br />
x<br />
conversion, SNCR and SCR. Since there are limited installations<br />
of these technologies, the capital and annualized costs were<br />
based on the information provided by vendors and guidelines<br />
provided by the U.S. <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> Agency/Office of<br />
Air Quality Planning and Standards (EPA/OAQPS) Control Cost<br />
Manual.<br />
Tables 2-3 and 2-4 present the total capital and annualized<br />
operating costs for each of the three control technologies as<br />
applied to model plants defined in Table 6-1. The low NO burner<br />
x<br />
capital costs range <strong>from</strong> $1,270,000 to $2,180,000, whereas the<br />
annual costs range <strong>from</strong> $267,000 to $423,000. Capital costs for<br />
mid-kiln firing conversion range <strong>from</strong> $391,000 to $707,000.<br />
Annual costs range <strong>from</strong> $128,000 to $207,000. The urea-based<br />
SNCR capital costs range <strong>from</strong> $671,000 to $1,240,000 for<br />
preheater/precalciner kilns. The urea-based SNCR annual costs<br />
range <strong>from</strong> $438,000 to $820,000. The ammonia-based SNCR<br />
