Simulation and Evaluation of the Efficiency of Oil-contaminated Wastes Recycling System

Abstract

The paper presents the results of simulation and evaluation of the efficiency of the system for the oil-contaminated wastes (OCW) recycling. The recycling system includes facilities for the OCW storing, technological installations for their processing and all necessary infrastructures that ensure the interconnection of the elements of the system under consideration. The system elements are evaluated using the basic CCR model and Super-efficiency model of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. The algorithm has been developed to evaluate the efficiency of the OCW utilization system, which allows one to select the best tech-nologies and storage facilities for the OCW recycling, taking into account their relative estimations with respect to resource value and reuse potential, as well as logistic criterion evaluating trans-portation costs and ecological criterion evaluating environmental safety of recycling processes in the analyzed system.
