Abstract:In this article, they present a modeling framework based on methodologies appropriate to serve these two purposes, namely linear programming and internalization of external costs. They develop it as an operational decision tool, of interest for both firms and regulators, and they apply it to a plant in the lime industry. They show why, in this context, there is in general not a single best available technique (BAT), but well a best combination of available techniques to be used (BCAT).
