Benchmarking Mass Burn Wte Facility Performance How Does Your Facility Measure Up?
نویسنده
چکیده
Owners and operators of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities have a keen interest in the performance of their facilities since it drives the overall success and cost effectiveness of their projects. There are a number of parameters that are commonly used to gauge the performance of a WTE facility and, in many cases, the contract operator. This paper compares historical data from a number of mass burn WTE facilities to establish benchmarks for various performance criteria. This paper also discusses how these benchmarks compare with performance standards that were used as the basis of design for the existing generation of mass burn WTE facilities and operating contracts and discusses how to set performance expectation levels for new projects.
