This is a spreadsheet template that provides a methodology for estimating costs of pollution control equipment. Cost methodology includes factors method, capacity change method, year of installation method, and both capacity and year change. Data for air pollution sources is included. Data on other types of pollution control can also be entered. The spreadsheet can be used as part of the BAT, BACT, or 'top down' economic analysis of new air sources.
Types of costs considered include labor, purchase price, and utilities(electricity, steam, and water). There are some cost figures in the spreadsheet that can be modified by users. No database of equipment costs is provided.
The cost of the program is $39. The system is available in MS DOS and Macintosh formats.
