How to analyze the cost per litre of treated water in RO Plants?
A - For 2000 LPH supply Commercial RO system
Approximate cost of unit: Rs. 7,05,000/-
Electricity Requirement: 6.25KW = 6.25x16 = 100KW
Note: 1- Assuming 16Hrs. working daily.
2- Power consumption by the equipment is taken as provided by manufacturer.
Electricity charges at Rs.8.36/ KW for 365 days = 100x8.36x365 = Rs.3,05,140/-
Labour AMC cost/ year: 10,000/-
Consumables (Assuming normal service requirement): Rs. 2,15,890/
Note:Assuming life of RO system as 5 Years, Annual cost of one unit - Rs.1,41,000.00/
Total cost involved/ year = Rs. 1,41,000.00 + Rs. 3,05,140.00+ Rs. 10,000.00 + Rs. 2,15,890.00
= Rs. 6,72,030.00/
B - For 1000 LPH supply Commercial RO Plant
Approximate cost of unit:Rs. 5,80,000/-
Electricity Requirement: 4.25KW = 4.25x16 = 68KW
Note: 1- Assuming 16Hrs. working daily.
2- Power consumption by the equipment is taken as provided by manufacturer.
Electricity charges at Rs.8.36 / KW for 365 days = 68x 8.36 x 365 = Rs.2,07,495/-
Labour AMC cost / year: 9,700/-
Consumables (Assuming normal service requirement): Rs.127210/-
Note:Assuming life of RO system as 5Years, annual cost of one unit - Rs.1,16,000.00/
Total cost involved / year= Rs. 1,16,000.00 + Rs. 2,07,495.00+ Rs. 9,7000.00 + Rs.127210.00
= Rs. 4,60,405.00/
C - For 500 LPH supply Commercial RO Plant
Approximate cost of unit:Rs. 2,75,000/-
Electricity Requirement: 3.25KW = 3.25x16 = 52KW
Note: 1- Assuming 16Hrs. working daily.
2- Power consumption by the equipment is taken as provided by manufacturer.
Electricity charges at Rs.8.36 / KW for 365 days = 52x 8.36 x 365 = Rs.1,58,673/-
Labour AMC cost / year: 9,110/-
Consumables (Assuming normal service requirement): Rs.60,340/-
Note:Assuming life of RO system as 5Years, annual cost of one unit - Rs.55,000.00/
Total cost involved / year= Rs. 55,000.00 + Rs. 1,58,673.00+ Rs. 9,110.00 + Rs. 60,340.00
= Rs. 2,83,123.00/
D - For 250 LPH supply Commercial RO Plant
Approximate cost of unit:Rs. 2,35,000/-
Electricity Requirement: 1.25KW = 3.25x16 = 20KW
Note: 1- Assuming 16Hrs. working daily.
2- Power consumption by the equipment is taken as provided by manufacturer.
Electricity charges at Rs.8.36/ KW for 365 days = 20x 8.36 x 365 = Rs.61,028/-
Labour AMC cost / year: 9,110/-
Consumables (Assuming normal service requirement): Rs.30,350/-
Note:Assuming life of RO system as 5 Years, annual cost of one unit: Rs.47,000.00/
Total cost involved / year= Rs. 47,000.00 + Rs. 61,028.00+ Rs. 9,110.00 + Rs. 30,350.00
= Rs. 1,47,488.00

Conclusion
Typically, Commercial RO Plants from Netsol Water are created and operated as solitary machines that produce the necessary quantity throughout the entire day. These can be duplexed if necessary and a central control panel can be used to switch the RO plant on or off, manually or automatically. When there is a higher demand for water, the units can also run simultaneously, doubling the permeate production.
