SCOPE OF SERVICES
FOR
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF
SOLID WASTE INCINERATION AND STEAM GENEXA0014 FACILITY
The City of Denton uperates a sanitary landfill located adjacent to thelty's Wastewater Treat,
mont Plant These faoil,t,es are located approximately 8000' from Den 's Steam Electric Plant
The purpose of this feasibility study is to analyze the tec}miud, Operatic al and financial feasiblll
ty of mass burning Denton's solid waste and sewer sludge in a ate boiler and utilising the
resulting steam to drive Denton's electric generators or utilizing the energy in any other
nrnnnmically feasible manner
The City of Denton's landfill presently receives between 300 and 3261Ono of normal domestic
solid waste per day Approximately W percent of the landfill material a derived from the City
of Denton which has a population of approximately 66,000 and the remaining is a result of com
mercial contract haulers and individuals from the surrounding commumti�Ms and rival areas around
Denton. The Wastewater Treatment Plant produces approximately 12, lbs per day of organic
wet sludges which is constituted of about 3 percent organics.
The study should be segmented Into three enter -related sections The Prot section shall relate
to the technical feasibility, the second section shall relate to the operational feasibility The third
section shall relate to economic feasibility
I TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
TI Wastes Quantities and Composition
Quantities of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) available from the City will be determined from
records and Information supplied by the City of Denton This into tion shall be analyzed
by the engineer to determine the validity and quality of the MSW T a monthly variation in
these tonnages will be estimated along with composition in order to low revenue projections
to be made In subsequent tasks. Additionally, estimates will be madJational
growth in MSW quan
titleb over the life of the project The study period to be thirty (30)Waste quantities will
be revaluated after energy requirements are analyzed to determine if waste is required
T2 Energy Interface
The utilization of the energy by the City of Denton'$ Steam Electric �lant or other potential
enemy customers will be analyzed to determine 1) their respective demand for energy and the
form and state of that energy, and 2) interface requlrementakonditions necessary for transmis
elope of the energy to the City of Denton's Steam Electric Plant or pn energy customer
The effort during this critical task Is to determine the moat coat effeotr means of transferring
the energy from the solid waste to the potential customers Schemata process diagrams shall
be solicited from the most feasible potential customers so the thermo ynamic systems can be
analyzed to determine the most cast effective means of transferring t energy from the solid
waste to the customer since this will ultimately result in the highest energy revenues.
The City of Denton's existing power plant shall be analyzed for conversion to a resource recovery
facility Boiler and plant modifications shall be defined
10/16/87 11 33 B&V PWR DIV 913- -7218 014
An energy and material schemata, diagram shall be developed to lndicat what goes in and what
comes out of the resource recovery facility This diagram shall present) the thermodynamic cr
cis and mechanical connections as well as the energy flows and sconpmie analytos,
T3 Resource Recovery Msehnalogy
After the beet means of transferring the energy has been Identified, the Engineer shall Oster
+rune the beet means of generating the energy The Engineer shall review various state of the
art technologies and waste combustion systems during th is task to determine most technical
ly reliable, environmentally acceptable and vest effective technology (and associated systems)
for ,receiving, storing and processing municipal solid waste to genera" energy In accordance
with the interface conditions developed In Task Tit Environmental emit4sions shall be evaluated
and quantified to the extent possible based on existing data from actual toots on existing systems
and projei is
II OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
0.1 Biting
Preliminary site investigation shall be conducted Siting issues shall be lowed in general terms
and the existing power plant plus a location at the solid waste landf 1 shall be investigated
as potential resource recovery facility sites The engineer shall develop a prellminary site plan
for the facility that illustrates the overall site requirements and develop siting criteria based
on environmental considerations and the City a interface requirements e6g , steam or electrical
transmission, line distance, and routing)
0-2 Transportation
The most feasible means of transporting the MSW by the various junfdlctions shall be deter-
mined The transportation systems may include transfer stations, which can only be sized and
located once the waste quantities and siting are determined
063 Recycling and Waste Reduction
The potential for waste reduction, matonals recovery, and materials recycling shall be deter
mined The impact of ongoing and future waste management policies (including a bottle or
beverage container law) at the state level will also be assessed
0-4 Soutory Landfill
The existing landfill operation shall be analyzed as to its current and future operation The im
pact to existing sanitary landfill shall be determined based on the logatfon and condition of
the landfill The desire is to have as little landfill disposal as possible and as few landfills as
posellik Future EPA regulations for Subtitle D landfill operations shall also be addressed and
Included in the projected cost of sanitary landfill opemtlone
0-5 Pubbe AcceptanLe—Environmental and Health Risk Assessment
Environmental impact and health risk assessments shall be addressed with the intention of
evaluating whether or not the technology, application, and site are environmentally acceptable.
III ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
E 1 Construction Costs
A wnstruction coot estimate shall be developed for the feasible application and technology of
the resource recovery facility and related transfer stations
10/16/87 11 34 B&V PWR DIU 913- -7219 015
E 2 Estimated Debt Service
Based on the assumptions and preliminary conclusions, an estimate shall be made on the bond
issue size and associated annual level debt servu.e W Lhe jurisdictione This is one of the cash
flows that will be used to project tapping coats
E 3 Revenues
Lnergy soiling pi aces for steam and/or electricity shall be determined or estimated for the feast
ble applications and combined with the energy flows determined in Task T2 to determine an
nual energy revenues The approach to determine the selling pnLe of swum will be discussed
and casual negotiation with the energy customer where possible.
Revenue estimates shall also be made for the sale of recovered materials based on the level of
operational feasibility in Task 0-3 The total project revenue stream Is one of the cash flows
that will be used to project tipping fees
E 4 Project Operations and Maintenance Cost
Estimates shall be made for the annual O&M cost for the resource recovery facility and related
transfer stations This Is one of the cash flows that will be used in projecting project tipping coots.
E-b Transportation Costs
L*atimates of transportation and cost and related O&M cost of transfer stations shall be developed.
The transfer station O&M costs may be included In the overall project O&M cost depending
on the owner/uperatur s4heme,
E-8 Sanitary Landfill Coot
The cost of sanitary landfill operations shall be projected to include the impact of the resource
recovery facility and future environmental regulations of Subtitle D landfills This cost compoa
nont may be included in the resource recovery O&M costa depending on the ownerloperator
schema Additionally, the cost of sanitary landfill operations for the jurisdictions will be estimated
without resource recovery and projected for comparison in project evaluation
E 7 Tipping Cost Projections
The cost and rswnus cash flows developed above shall be used in an economic model to estimate
the tipping costs each year over the debt life of the project These tipping cost projections shall
be developed for several sets of variables to Indicate economic sensitivity, and they shall be
graphically compared to the landfill projections to provide a convenient measure of overall
economic feasibility
