en عمومى General مقاله اصیل Original Article <div style="text-align: justify;">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 by-product of used motor oil (UMO) recycling industries with a large quantity that its reprocessing, refining, and re-refining operations are not performed in Iran.<br> Methods: In this empirical study, the inventory of requirements for generating value-added gaseous products was tabulated based on the recent studies. To develop a techno-economic 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.<br> 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.<br> Conclusion: The findings expanded the technology and its technical demands for identification of screening step of project prior to competing for development and establishment.</div> Economic, Models, Costs, Gases, Recycling, Plasmatron 183 192 http://ehemj.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-179&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Malek Hassanpour Malek.hassanpour@yahoo.com 10031947532846006948 10031947532846006948 Yes Corresponding author:Department of Environmental Science, UCS, Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana State, India
