*Calculation: -

1. Power Consumption: - (Considering Point No. B)

P = (Q X p) / (229 X )

Where, P = Power in hp

Q = Air Flow in CFM

p = Pressure in Lp/sq.In

= Efficient Coefficient

For Option 1: - P = (912.3 cfm * 7.97 lb/sq.in) / (229 * 0.7) = 45.35 hp = 33.81 KWh

For Option 2: - P = (253 cfm * 7.97 lb/sq.in) / (229 * 0.7) = 12.57 hp = 9.37 KWh

Difference between Option 1 & Option 2 = 24.44 KWh = 24.44*24 = 586.56 KW/Day

Considering INR 7 per KW, Cost Difference = 7*586.56 = 4105.92 INR per Day

= 1498660.8 INR Per Year.

Considering Life Span of STP = 30 Years

Total Cost of Energy = 44959824 INR = 4.5 Cr. INR approx. . 1

2. Diffusers: - (Considering Point No. B)

Price of Supply, installation and fixing of one Diffuser = 4228.5 INR (Inc. tax)
Difference = Option 1 Option 2 = 119 Nos.
Cost Difference = 503191.5 INR . 2
 3. Media: - (Considering Point No. B)

Price of Supply, installation of Media per CuM = 29073.15 (Inc Tax.)

Difference = Option 1- Option 2 = 62 CuM.

Cost Difference = 1802535.3 INR . 3

4. Blower Cost: - (Considering Point No. B)

Difference of cost of Supply, Installation & Commissioning = 12 Lac INR approx. 4

5. Civil Construction: - (Considering Point No. B and C)

For Point B: - Difference Civil Structure: - 242 CuM. (Option 1- Option 2)

Considering Rs 10 per Liter Civil cost.

Cost Difference = 10*242000 = 24,20,000 INR.

For Point A: - Difference Civil Structure: - (-)470 CuM. (Option 1 Option 2)

Considering Rs 10 per Liter Civil cost.

Cost Difference = 10*(-)470000 = (-)47,00,000 INR.

Total Cost Difference = For Point B + For Point A = (-)22,80,000 INR. . 5

6. Media Tube Settler: - (Considering Point No. C)

Price of Supply, installation of Media per CuM. = 12356 (Inc Tax.)

Difference = Option 1- Option 2 = (-)27 CuM.

Cost Difference = (-)333612 INR . 6

Total Cost Difference at Time of Installation and Commissioning = Eq.2 + Eq. 3 + Eq. 4 + Eq. 5 + Eq. 6

= 503191.5 + 1802535.3 + 1200000 + (-) 2280000 + (-) 333612

= 8,92,114.8 INR Option 1 cost more than Option 2.

Total Cost Difference at Operation & Maintenance = Eq. 1

= 4.5 Cr. INR for 30 yrs. Option 1 costs more than Option 2.
