Environmental engineers work to increase the level of health and
happiness in the world by designing, building, and operating
processes and systems for water treatment, water pollution control,
air pollution control, and solid waste management. These projects
compete for resources with projects in medicine, transportation,
education, and other fields that have a similar objective. The
challenge is to make the investments efficient - to get the best
project outputs with a minimum of inputs. Cost Engineering for
Pollution Prevention and Control examines how to identify the best
solution by judging alternatives with respect to some measure of
system performance, such as total capital cost, annual cost, annual
net profit, return on investment, cost-benefit ratio, net present
worth, minimum production time, maximum production rate, minimum
energy utilization, and so on. Key Features: Explains how to
estimate preliminary costs, how to compare the life cycle costs of
alternative projects, how to find the optimal balance between
capital costs and operating costs. Emphasis is placed on
formulating the problem rather than on the mathematical details of
how the calculations are done. Provides numerous practical examples
and case studies. Includes end-of-chapter exercises dealing with
water, wastewater, air pollution, solid wastes, and remediation
projects. The important concepts presented in this book can be
understood by those students who have taken an introductory course
in environmental engineering. Advanced knowledge of process design
is not required. The material can also be utilized by engineers,
managers, and others who would benefit from a better understanding
of how engineers look at problems.
