COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS EXERCISE
Aqueous Parts Washer
CASE HISTORY
A pollution prevention opportunity assessment was recently conducted for the Utah National Guard. It was determined that the installation of an aqueous parts washer would have the potential to improve production as well as reduce hazardous material consumption and disposal costs. A costlbenefit analysis was conducted to ascertain the feasibility of implementing this opportunity.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
Whether a shop is performing machine maintenance or vehicle maintenance activities, parts cleaning is a necessary part of these operations. Solvents have been the traditional choice for removing the grease, oil, and carbon contaminants from these parts, however, water and biodegradable detergents work just as well. Any maintenance shop can benefit from the use of an aqueous parts washer in the following ways: reduced hazardous waste disposal costs, possible reduction in employee health problems, reduced clean-up materials, and smaller purchasing costs.
COSTS AND BENEFITS
The following tables summarize the costs and benefits associated with the installation of a medium-sized parts washer based on data collected from current solvent- based parts washing operations at the Utah facility and from a supplier of aqueous parts washers.

PAYBACK ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The term "payback refers to the time it takes to recoup of "payback start-up costs for a proposed option. To calculate the years a potential option will take to payback, the start-up costs, the annual benefits, and the annual costs, must be known. From these three values the project payback can be calculated as follows:
Start-up Cost PAYBACKINYEARS =
Annual Benefit - Annual Cost
Ideally, the recommended pollution prevention option will have a payback period of three years or less.

COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS EXERCISE
Antifreeze Reuse
CASE HISTORY
A pollution prevention opportunity assessment was recently conducted in a vehicle maintenance shop at a Federal facility. The shop maintains a fleet of automobiles, 5-ton trucks, and 5- and 10-kW generators.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
To maintain and service this inventory, the shop’s general workload consists of routine vehicle and generator maintenance, such as oil and coolant changes. The antifreeze in the automobiles, in a specified ratio of 60:40 antifreeze to water, is entirely changed out every six months. The radiators hold a total of 2.5 gallons of 60:40 mix (or 1.5 gallons of pure antifreeze). The 5-ton trucks are serviced at the same six month frequency, using the same 60:40 ratio of coolant, but each radiator holds 7.5 gallons (4.5 gallons of pure antifreeze). Generators are used once a month and are serviced more frequently than the vehicles. Generator coolant is changed out every 3 months, and they are assumed to be a 2.5 gallon radiator system and use the same 60:40 ratio. Table 1 summarizes the information presented in this paragraph.
General maintenance on the vehicles and generators necessitates the removal of the radiator from time to time so that access may be gained to other areas that need repair. The antifreeze must be drained before the radiator is removed. Often, the antifreeze does not need to be completely replaced but only saved and reused.

EXERCISE
TOTAL
Part 1

1. Complete the last column in Table 1 by calculating the total annual consumption of antifreeze:
a. for each type of equipment.
b. the total for all equipment used by the facility.
2. Assuming that a gallon of antifreeze costs $3.00, how much does the facility pay to purchase antifreeze every year?
COSTS AND BENEFITS
The following tables summarize the costs and benefits associated with the installation of an antifreeze quick changer based on data collected from current vehicle and generator maintenance operations at the shop and from a supplier of antifreeze quick changing equipment. The antifreeze quick changer enables the shop to reuse 50 percent of the antifreeze that would otherwise be disposed of as hazardous waste (Le., instead of disposing of 80 gallons of antifreeze, the shop can reuse 40 gallons).
