This paper presents a multi objective mixed integer location/routing model that aims to minimize transportation cost and risks for large-scale hazardous waste management systems (HWMSs). Risks induced by hazardous wastes (HWs) on both public and the environment are addressed. For this purpose, a new environmental impact definition is proposed that considers the environmentally vulnerable elements including water bodies, agricultural areas, coastal regions and forestlands located within a certain bandwidth around transportation routes. The solution procedure yields to Pareto optimal curve for two conflicting objectives. The conceptual model developed prior to mathematical formulation addresses waste-to-technology compatibility and HW processing residues to assure applicability of the model to real-life HWMSs. The suggested model was used in a case study targeting HWMS in Turkey. Based on the proposed solution, it was possible to identify not only the transportation routes but also a set of information on HW handling facilities including the types, locations, capacities, and investment/operational cost. The HWMS of this study can be utilized both by public authorities and private sector investors for planning purposes.

High efficiency combined - cycle gas polygenerator for ecological local generation (HEGEL) Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih(2009-4-30) Objective is to develop, demonstrate and assess an innovative, high efficiency concept of micro-cogeneration system applied to a real demand site under real operating conditions. The application concept is based on a combined cycle architecture (Combi system) constituted by two integrated cogenerators powered by different prime movers: an innovative reciprocating engine cogenerator and a Rankine engine system (bottoming cycle) operated on the exhaust gases of the reciprocating engine. The location will b...
Hazardous waste management system design for Turkey Yılmaz, Özge; Yetiş, Ülkü; Yetiş Kara, Bahar; Department of Environmental Engineering (2011) Hazardous waste management demands detailed planning due to the risks posed by hazardous wastes on public and environment and high investments required. This study aims to provide a framework that leads Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) in planning of hazardous waste facilities to be built. This framework considers the facility and transport cost along with impacts of hazardous waste management. The linear optimization models for several scenarios are developed in order to evaluate possible approa...
Profit oriented disassembly line balancing Altekin, Fatma Tevhide; Kandiller, Levent; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study, we deal with the profit oriented partial disassembly line balancing problem which seeks a feasible assignment of selected disassembly tasks to stations such that the precedence relations among the tasks are satisfied and the profit is maximized. We consider two versions of this problem. In the profit maximization per cycle problem (PC), we maximize the profit for a single disassembly cycle given the task times and costs, part revenues and demands and station costs. We propose a heuristic solu...
Impacts of physical and chemical heterogeneities on aquifer remediation design Aksoy, Ayşegül (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-07-01) The impacts of physical and chemical aquifer heterogeneities on optimal remediation design, costs, and time to compliance are investigated by linking a genetic algorithm with a contaminant transport simulation model. Physical and chemical aquifer heterogeneities were grouped into three levels as follows: (1) hydraulic conductivity (K) heterogeneity only; (2) combined heterogeneity of K and the distribution coefficient (Kd); and (3) combined heterogeneity of K, Kd, and the mass transfer rate (α). Various deg...
Leachate quality and quantity modelling in municipal solid waste landfills Demirekler, E.; Ünlü, Kahraman; Rowe, R.k.; Armstrong, M. (null; 2000-12-01) A mathematical model is developed to simulate the hydraulic behaviour and the biodegradation process in a landfill site. The model incorporates governing equations that describe processes influencing the leachate production and the biochemical processes taking place during the stabilisation of organic wastes, including leachate flow, hydrolysis, acidogenic, and methanogenesis. The model considers the significant changes in moisture distribution and leachate quality that may occur during the operational peri...
