 Even after the facility is prepared for the process, ICV melts cost about $1,585 per ton of processed waste (3-4 times the cost of an SPV melt).This extra cost is due to the necessary safety precautions in the facility.For example, the melting process occurs at very high (1200 to 2000 °C) temperatures and some of this heat is dispersed throughout the facility, so adequate cooling and ventilation are needed for areas where workers are present.
