(a)
An objective function to minimize the total cost of disposal where the two given towns would have the option of taking or refusing their own landfill or common facility.
To determine
(b)
The objective function (Total cost)when the towns use their own landfills and when the central share facility used by both the towns to minimize the cost.
To determine
(c)
An optimization software to get least cost solution for both the towns

- Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?arrow_forwardQ#2:Explain the manner in which pollution is caused by solid industrial waste, industrial effluents and industrial waste gases.What is the recommended safe practice for the disposal of solid industrial waste.Explain the difference between recovery and recycling as applied to solid industrial waste.arrow_forwardWhat are the steps of waste water treatment?
