Selection of a rational solution for transport of the by-products from the combustion process in TPP Pljevlja to the Maljevac landfill

This paper presents an analysis of selection the optimal model for transportation of by-products from the Thermal Power Plant Pljevlja to the Maljevac landfill. The analysis was done for two types of transport, truck transport and transport with belt conveyors. The paper presents the results of analysis the technological process of transport the by-products from the Thermal Power Plant Pljevlja to the Maljevac landfill, and evaluation the most important criteria for selection the optimal solution. During the selection of criteria and evaluation, three criteria were singled out as follows: ecology, economy and reliability of the system. The analysis showed that the most favorable variant from the aspect of capital costs and aspect of reliability is the variant of truck transport. The variant of continuous transport is more favorable from the aspect of normative costs. The environmental criteria had to be met by both variants.
