Cost Calculation: Detailed Breakdown
ENERGY COSTS
LOFT evaporator unit
Power requirement: approx.. 70 kWh/m³
Energy consumptiont: 1,440 m³/year × 70 kWh/m³ = 100,800 kWh
Energy costs: 100,800 kWh × 0.10 €/kWh = 10,800,- €/p.a.
Total = 10.800,- €/Year
Chemical-physical treatment
Power requirement: approx.. 0.2 kWh/m³
Energy consumption: 12,100 m³/year × 0.2 kWh/m³ = 2,420 kWh
Energy costs: 2,420 kWh × 0.10 €/kWh = 242.- €/p.a.
Total = ________ 242,- €/Year
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE COSTS, OPERATING MATERIALS, CHEMICALS, ANALYSIS COSTS, OFFICIAL APPROVALS:
LOFT-evaporator unit
The amount normally required for maintenance per year is: approx. 4,000,- €
Operating materials, cleaning agents, oil etc. amount each year to: approx. 800,- €
Laboratory analysis and testing are not required
Total = 4.800,- €/Year
Chemical-physical treatment
The amount normally required for maintenance per year is: approx. 6,000.- €
For chemicals: approx. 5,150,- €
Costs of laboratory analysis and testing: approx. 800,- €
Total = 11.950,- €/Year
PERSONNEL COSTS
LOFT-evaporator unit
Required supervision time per evaporator
approx.1 h/week × 45 weeks/year = 45 h/year
Costs: 45 h/year × 40.- €/h = 1,800.- €/year
Required supervision time for peripheral equipment
approx.1 h/week × 45 weeks/year = 45 h/year
Costs: 45 h/year × 40.- €/h = 1,800.- €/year
Total= 3.600,- €/Year.
Chemical-physical treatment
Personnel requirements
approx. 20 h/week × 45 weeks/year = 900 h/year
Costs: 900 h/year × 40 € /h
Total= 36.000,- €/Year.
WATER REPLENISHMENT COSTS
LOFT-evaporator
The distillate from the evaporation process is recycled back into the production process. This provides savings both in terms of water replenishment and wastewater disposal.
The only water consumed is small amounts entrained in the concentrate, here on the order of approx. 280 m³/year benötigt: 280 m³/year × 3.70 €/m³
Total= 1.036,- €/Year.
Chemical-physical treatment
Overall water content sent away in wastewater: 12,100 m³/year
Costs: 12,100 m³/year × 3.70 €/m³
Total = 44.770,- €/Year
DISPOSAL COSTS
LOFT-evaporator unit
Disposal of evaporator concentrates
58 m³/year × 80.- €/m³
Total = 4.640,- €/Year.
Chemical-physicaltreatment
Overall volume to be disposed of: 60 m³/year
Costs: 60 m³/year × 90 €/m³
Total= 5.400,- €/Year.
