Sludge yield and cash flow projections.
I am told that when design engineers begin their projections on building a wastewater treatment plant. They calculate the number of expected pounds of influent BOD so that they can convert that BOD number to pounds of sludge in order to design the sludge storage and handling for the new plant. To keep this as simple as possible, and its not that complicated, I am going to figure the anticipated sludge numbers for a one million gallon per day average flow
plant, with an influent BOD of 225 mg/l. 1.0 X 225 X 8.34 = 1876.5 pounds of influent BOD, which should and usually produces between 1688.85 and 1876.5 pounds of sludge. This "yield" is showing a ONE to ONE (1876.5 to 1876.5) or ONE to .9 ratio (1876.5 to 1688.85) of influent BOD to sludge.
Over a period of a year this plant, which is going to be constructed and located in "TOOGUDTOBETRUE", Florida, will have to dispose of between 300 and 350 TONS of sludge. This would be total pounds if processed as tonnage, if a liquid is disposed of, the % of solids would have to be calculated in the liquid and the gallonage applied. Now the cost of this disposal, for handling, transportation, and final disposal, is obviously not free and the costs vary, but
here are some estimates.
Simply to figure cost savings, take your sludge disposal expenditures for a years period, contact us for cost and dosage requirements for your system, which is usually based on flow and influent BOD, and apply a resonable say, 35% reduction to your sludge expenditures, enter the cost of the biostimulation and I think you will be able to easily see your savings, after expenditures, using our products.
Example, say you spend 100K on disposal, the cost of magic juice is 20K and your projected savings are 35K.......you are ahead by 15K, its that simple.
This is not rocket science, all we do is turn up your biology. Just like most of us who take prescriptions to make our bodies overcome limiting conditions so we can function better. Good operators are skeptics, but is it simpler to say, "we are not interested" or "we tried something like that before and it did not work" but don't you have a responsibility to your clients and citizens? We blame all our current problems on government mismanagement, but doesn't this start with you? 15K dollars is not much but its a start and your money nor mine certainly does not grow on trees. Denial is not a river in Egypt, and we can prove what we say, or you can simply ask our clients.
Now, one of the things in business is you have to be aware of your costs, and you should keep track of your measurable data, which sadly, not many
of my clients did BEFORE we started working with them. As an example, the case study from the City of Stuart, provided a considerable cash flow opportunity on sludge costs, and they currently don't use the product, and have not since we authored the paper, which has been presented numerous times in Florida at a wide range of technical conferences. When I did the workup, I think they cash flowed on the entire project when they reduced their sludge production by 18%, and their actual reductions were in the high 30% range.......This is the review at the base of our biological stimulation page.
"If you can't measure a products performance with cash flow, then your not using biostimulation, if you can't measure it, can't miss it!
