Dear Ms. Cardenas:
As per our conversation on November 11, 1997, we are submitting the
following cost estimates for the four proposed pollution prevention
projects.
|
|
|
| Improved Toluene Recovery $ 46,000/Year | |
| Recovery and Recycle High Boiling Tars $232,000/Year | |
| Ketone Recovery $130,000/Year | |
| Ketone Secondary Separation $ 42,000/Year | |
| Total Raw Material Cost Savings $450,000/Year | |
|
|
|
| Improved Toluene Recovery $ 94,000/Year | |
| Recovery and Recycle High Boiling Tars $265,000/Year | |
| Ketone Recovery $ 88,000/Year | |
| Ketone Secondary Separation $ 37,000/Year | |
| Total Raw Material Cost Savings $484,000/Year | |
|
|
|
| All Four Projects $3,000,000 - $4,000,000 |
We are unable to provide an accurate capital cost estimate for each
project at this time. The above figures are derived collectively based
on the engineering and cost index factors. Individual cost estimates
will require a detailed process design followed by an engineering
design for each project. This will require a considerable amount
of effort, which we will undertake once we have received acceptance
by the EPA for Project XL. Yours truly,
UNIROYAL CHEMICAL COMPANY, INC.
