techno-economic assessment of recycling acidic sludge project of reprocessing industries to value-added gaseous products using plasmatron

Background: plasmatron is a hydrocarbon reformer of fuels and heavy oil sludge with high efficiency in gasification operation. the gasification of acidic sludge (as) was investigated to assess the technical and financial demands in a model. as is a byproduct of used motor oil (umo) recycling industries with a large quantity that its reprocessing, refining, and rerefining operations are not performed in iran.methods: in this empirical study, the inventory of requirements for generating valueadded gaseous products was tabulated based on the recent studies. to develop a technoeconomic model, the costs of reactor configuration, equipment, and installation outlay, materials and product costs, facilities, staff salary, land and landscaping budget, and energy demand expenses were taken into consideration.results: the initial requirements of the project in the screening step were identified and a framework of the economic model was provided to develop and identify the technical dimension of the chemical vapor deposition (cvd) reactor.conclusion: the findings expanded the technology and its technical demands for identification of screening step of project prior to competing for development and establishment.
