Economic Benefits of having a well run treatment program include the following:
EnduroSolv® uses state of the art proven chemicals, manufactured into a SOLID concentrate, transported in a low carbon footprint profile, and applied easily at your site with our patented dissolving system. You receive all of the benefits of a well run chemical program, without the hassles of dealing with liquids.
Because EnduroSolv® products are shipped without liquids, freight costs are substantially reduced. The cost of transporting solids is approximately 1-2% of the chemical costs, versus 15-20% of the chemical costs for liquids – saving you $$. (Approximately 15-20% of your chemical budget is used to ship mostly water when using liquids).
In addition to the substantially higher costs of transportation of liquids, there is also a "hidden cost" for using drums. One study put a time, then a dollar value to this hidden cost, and calculated an additional cost of over $140 for each drum.
In some cases, cost avoidance can be a major area of savings. Because solids are reconstituted on site, the strength of the solution is substantially below the threshold value where eyewash and showers are required. One university saved over $500,000 by not having to make these installations. EnduroSolv® products can help you save Energy Dollar$. Scale and deposit control is critical with today's high cost of energy.
Using EnduroSolv® products can help you minimize corrosion and extend equipment life, saving you operational and capital dollar$. Reducing "General Etch" corrosion from a generally considered excellent rate of 5 mpy (mills per year; 1 mill per year = 1/1000"), to less than 2.5 mpy will double the life of your equipment. In addition to saving capital dollars, the metal that corrodes will become part of the deposit, and operational costs will reflect the higher costs shown in the examples above.
EnduroSolv® products can help you save water, sewer, and chemical dollar$ by reusing the water, its maximum number of times. One study concluded that increasing the number of times water can be reused in a cooling tower from 4 to 6 cycles, would have the effect of reducing water make-up demand by over 408,000,000 gallons annually in just the Commercial and Institutional markets. Most EnduroSolv® cooling water scale inhibitors are capable of meeting the needs for these savings. A certified EnduroSolv® dealer can help you quantify the savings potential at your facility.
A 200 horsepower boiler, operating at 100 psig, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and burning natural gas costing $7.00/1,000 cu. ft. will have a fuel budget of $581,774 for annual operation. An "eggshell" (generally defined as 1/32) deposit, will cost an additional $23,271 - $69,813 depending on the content of the deposit. If you are experiencing deposits, you need to talk to an EnduroSolv® dealer today.
A 500-Ton chiller, operating 12 hours per day, 240 days per year, with an electric cost of $0.08/kilowatt hour will have an energy budget of $86,400 per year. 1/64" of deposit will cost an additional $12,960 - $21,600 per year in wasted energy. Microbio films can easily double the cost of these figures. (In addition, we have not included the cost of demand charges, which are real, but can vary greatly by customer. To fully quantify the wasted energy dollars, your actual costs need to be included in the calculations).
