What is Cost factors that affect Industrial Water treatment plants?
Let us look at some factors related to cost that affect Industrial Water Treatment Plants_
1: Preliminary planning: Planning the concepts, designs, and regulatory requirements for your project is a key f
irst step in securing an industrial water treatment system. Engineering costs 10–15% of the total project cost and is often phased in over the duration of the project, with the majority of your expenditure given to the facility's general arrangement, mechanical, electrical, and civil design.
2: Space constraints: The size of your system and the location of your plant will affect the cost of any water treatment system. If physical space is expensive at your factory, for example, investing in technology with a small footprint may be more cost-effective. You may not have much flexibility in system size depending on your unique water treatment goals and process conditions, but it is important to examine the system footprint if you are exploring various treatment technologies.
3: Installation costs: Labor expenses might vary greatly from one location to the next, so while preparing your project budget, make sure to look into the installation rates in your area. Pre-packaged modular systems may be less expensive than build-in-place facilities in places where installation costs are considerable. Depending on the degree of pre-packaging and the quantity of site civil work required, installation expenses typically range between 15 and 40% of the project cost.
4: Required level of system automation: There are two fundamental techniques to manage your water treatment system.
The first is a greater level of automation that requires very minimal intervention from the operator. This method can remove human error associated with operating the equipment while also lowering continuing labor expenditures. The disadvantage is that higher automation necessitates a larger initial investment in sophisticated PLC controls and equipment.
The second entails less automation and a greater reliance on operators. While manual controls can reduce upfront capital costs, they can also result in a higher long-term human investment. Consideration of labor availability, as well as long- and short-term expenses, will assist you in determining the appropriate level of automation for your water treatment system.
5: Complete and preconfigured systems: Depending on the extent and complexity of your water treatment requirements, you may be able to select between a pre-packaged and a build-in-place solution. Pre-packaged systems are often the same or less expensive than custom-built systems and can save up to a few months of construction time. Another advantage of going with a pre-packaged water treatment system is that the manufacturing facilities and fabrication shops that offer turnkey systems typically have specific knowledge and experience in manufacturing the sorts of equipment utilized in your solution. This leads to faster and more efficient fabrication, as opposed to the delays and additional expenses associated with hiring and onboarding a field team for a build-in-place system.
6: Transporting the system to your facility: When having your water treatment system sent to your plant, factor in 5–10% of the equipment's cost for freight. This might vary greatly based on the time of year you purchase your system as well as the location of your plant in reference to the manufacturing site.
7: Operating expenses: In the water treatment industry, operational expenses are frequently determined by a complicated and interconnected set of elements. When planning a water treatment system, consider the benefits and cons of short-term versus long-term cost investment, the cost implications of adding a pre- or post-treatment system, and the availability of employees and space at your plant. Regardless of the solutions you choose, commissioning an operational cost study may help you effectively budget for all of the chemicals, equipment, labor, and other costs associated with maintaining your system during its life cycle.
8: Regulatory expenses: It is critical to fully grasp the regulatory requirements for your operation, particularly in terms of the expense of waste disposal compliance. Because rules are becoming stricter and activity is frequently monitored, make sure to thoroughly examine if you'll need permits to discharge and that your facility is allowed before discharging any wastewater, as failure to comply with local restrictions can result in heavy fines.
9: Waste disposal expenses: Consider how much it will cost to treat the secondary waste generated by your water treatment systems.
With these considerations in mind, it is often a good idea to consult with your system engineers and/or manufacturer regarding cost-effective options. They may be able to shed some light on installation-friendly solutions or provide recommendations to help you reduce your costs to a minimum.
