## Development of Chemical Precipitation Operation and Maintenance Costs: **Chemical Purchase Costs**

This Excel workbook consists of the following worksheets: Bulk Shipping Costs Totes Shipping Costs

We ighted Shipping Cost Shipping Vendor Telecon Documents costs obtained from a vendor for shipping a full dry van truckload. This Excel workbook documents EPA's derivation of shipping costs for chemicals used for chemical precipitation treatment of flue gas desulfurization wastewater in the Steam Electric cost model. EPA determ ined chemical purchase costs for each plant by multiply ing plant flow rate by the sum of the chemical purchase and shipping costs (developed as described in DCN SE01825.A48 'Chem Precip Chemical Purchase Cost.pdf and in this workbook, respectively ) and by the chemical dosage rates (see DCN SE01825.A47 'Chem Precip Chem additions at BAT Plants.xlsx').

Documents costs for bulk shipping of dry chemicals. Documents costs for shipping liquid chemicals in totes. Documents development of an average shipping cost in $/ton for transport of chemicals used for chemical precipitation treatment of flue gas desulfurization wastewater.

### TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

GENERAL SUBJECT: Vendor cost request for chemical freight costs – dry van truck



### On June 28, 2011 at 8:15 am Icontacted Mr. Robert Clark. I explained to Mr. Clark that we are working on conceptual level costing of a chemical precipitation wastewater treatment system to treat FGD (flue gas desulfurization) wastewater from steam electric power plants and as a part of this project, we are trying to collect cost information on different components or units of a chemical precipitation system. Chemicals are required for the treatment system and we are seeking cost information for chemical shipping. I talked to Mr. Clark about the chemicals that would require shipping for a chemical precipitation system. Mr. Clark indicated that costs would vary

depending on a number of factors, including whether a full truckload or partial truckload would be required. Mr. Clark stated that the freight cost does not differ depending on whether the chemicals shipped are liquid or solid. The chemicals could be shipped via totes or bags per pallet. A ty pical pallet is 4 feet by

40 inches and cannot be stacked more than 8 feet high. Mr. Clark stated that a standard dry van truck could be either 48 or 52-53 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet high and could carry up to 45,000 lbs of material. A dry van truck can hold up to 30 pallets. Mr. Clark stated the approximate cost for shipping a full dry van truckload approximately

500 miles would be $1,400.
