Electrocoagulation: Team Zubia Shaikh Karishma Katpitia Professor in Charge Binoj Kutty

This document analyzes the financial viability of installing electrocoagulation units to treat greywater from a hostel building and a household. For the hostel, installing a unit would save over Rs. 22,000 per year in water purchase costs. With a net present value over Rs. 53,000 and profitability index over 1, the hostel EC unit option is financially viable. Similarly, a household EC unit would save Rs. 10,000 per year and have a positive net present value, making it a viable investment.

EC UNIT to treat Hostel Building Grey
Water
• Grey Water generated =10,000 L/ day

• Requirement for Flushing=>10,000L/day


ELECTROCOAGULATION UNIT

• Power Supply : 135 V , 2 A (DC)


• Aluminum Electrodes: 100 x 50 x 10(mm)
• Capacity : 1.3 kL/hour
• Daily requirement: 10,000 L
• Daily EC Unit running
time 7.7 hours(~8 hours)
Case 1- Hostel, St. Xavier’s College
• Need for EC WHY?
- No grey water recycling
- Buying of water to meet the daily requirements

• Rate of buying water : Rs. 5/kl


- Sewerage charges applicable @70%

• Amount of water bought : 10kl/3months


• Amount spent on buying water = (5x10kl)+(70% x 5 x 10kl)
• (3 months) = 7850/-

• If bought for 12 months = 22950/-

ITEMS COST(INR)
Tanks(4), Pipes, Valves 57,520
DC Power Supply 10,000

Electrodes 5,000
Labour 3000
TOTAL CAPITAL COST 75,520
OPERATING COST 4320
(includes sludge
collection)
Measures of Profitability

Net Annual Uniform Savings


=Cost Recovered by Recycled Water(Savings in
water purchase)- Annual Depriciation Cost of EC
system –Annual Operating Cost)
=22950- (75520-0)/12-4320
=19986
Make diag for us
Net Present Value
Assuming Rate of Interest=10%
• PV of Cash Inflows • PV of Cash Outflows
= 19986 ∑12 (1+0.1)t =75520+7660/(1+0.1)6
t=1 +7660/(1+0.1)12
=19986X 6.782 • =81809
=135,549.57
NPV = PV of Cash Inflows - PV of Cash Outflows
=135,549.57 - 81809
=53740
Resultant NPV>0, the pollution abatement option is
financially viable
Profitability Index

• PI= PV of Cash Inflows/PV of Cash Outflows


PI = 135,549.57/81809
PI= 1.65

Since PI > 1, this pollution abatement option is


financially viable.

• Considering a household with
• 4 people , a Garden and one Car
• Fresh water Tank of 2300 L (per day use)
• Grey Water generated (40% of 2300

Car Washing 120 L

TOTAL 13020 L
ELECTROCOAGULATION UNIT
• To Treat 1.3 kL/hour

PAY BACK PERIOD
• Simple Payback Period =
30,000(INR Invested)

• Simple Payback Period =2.307


DEPRECIATION
• ?
• Somewhere say sludge managed by Bmc put
in land fills or we may look for some 3rd party
to recover Al from sludge.
