As with anything else, water treatment cost estimates are difficult to get a handle on without somewhere to begin. This document and the spreadsheet program it describes are just that

- a place to begin. With minimal information, such as a rough idea of the water analysis and the capacity of the treatment systems, this program provides cost estimates based on theoretical equipment sizes and chemical requirements. It is not intended to be a final design cost estimate. It is intended as a tool for comparing different process options at a” early phase in the planning process. Processes included in the program are microfiltration, reverse osmosislnanotiltration. elecuodi~lysis, ion exchange, gravity filtration, granular activated carbon, disinfection and chemical feed systems.

### ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Several people have been vitally important to the success of this project. Bill Boegli has been a fount of information; I must thank him for the loan of his water treatment books, and advice on determining dosage rates (without a water sample). Pat Giarrantano, now retired from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NET), provided the loan of her personnel for the start of this effon:. Kim Linton’s review resulted in many improvements in the user experience which were sorely needed, as any who tried to review the draft product will appreciate. Most of all, this final product would not be possible without funding from the Water Desalination Research and Development (DesalR&D) Program.

### INTRODUCTION

One of the primary concerns in updating an older water treatment plant, or building a new one is: “How much will it cost?” These days, there are many alternative water treatment processes in use, with pros and cons for each. Before one gets mired in the differences, similarities, and potential for success, it is reassuring to look at the price tags. Cost is one tangible way to eliminate options. Yet cost is one of the most difficult aspects of a process to get a handle on before the design process has begun. According to Peters and Timmerhaus, in 

### Plant Design and Economicsfor Chemical Engineers (1980), an order of magnitude estimate should cost about $4000 (1979$). It requires knowledge of the water composition, plant capacity, location and site requirements, utility requirements, raw materials and finished product handling and storage requirements. Yet, the cost is needed before any agreements are made. In 1994, the Bureau of Reclamation built a mobile Water Treatment Plant Trailer for the purpose of exploring ‘water treatment alternatives. One of the questions most frequently asked is “How much will these systems cost?’ Because of that, we have tried to automate the cost estimation process so that we can provide a reasonable answer based on production capacity, and the water analysis. Sure, there are many ways to specify which equipment is used, but when you step back and look at a long history of water 

### treatment system costs, 

### it is possible 

### to come up with a set of good generalizations. Back in 1979, the EPA published a very thorough study on water treatment costs (EPA-60012-79-162). It separates costs into different categories for manufactured equipment, labor, pipes and valves, electrical and instrumentation, housing, etc. Then costs are repotted and graphed for different sizes of plants. The trouble is {that you cannot use the graphs until you know the size of the process. For instance, chlorine feed cost is based on the number of kg/day of chlorine needed. Chlorine demand is usually determined through jar tests, which require money, time, and a fresh water sample. In addition, if you wanted to compare chlorination with ozonation, you would need to have the size of the ozone contact chamber. These items are not generally included in a standard water analysis. In a joint effort between the Bureau of Reclamation, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a water treatment design spreadsheet program has been developed to address this problem. This Excel spreadsheet estimates the design parameters needed to drive the EPA cost estimates, then updates cost information for several water treatment processes to current dollars. The capacity requirements and minimal input about the process are entered on Capacity worksheet. Also, the water data report based on 

### water analysis is shown 

### on the Capacity worksheet. The 

### water analysis is entered in the H20 Analysis worksheet. Cost indices based on the Engineering news Record construction cost index and Bureau of Labor Statistics (February, 1999 built in) are entered on the Cost Index worksheet and may be updated b:y the user. Cost and sizing calculations for the different processes are performed on linked worksheets. These worksheets contain the parameters that may be refined when the equipment is specified more exactly. Cost and relevant design parameters are reported back to the Report worksheet. The program calculates dosage rates and cost estimates for the following water purification processes:

. pH adjustment with sulfuric acid.

. Disinfection with chlorine, chloramine, and ozone.

. Coagulation/Flocculation with alum, ferric sulfate, and lime/soda ash using upflow solids contact clarifiers.

. Filtration enhancement with polymer feed.

. Filtration with granular activated carbon, and granular media.

. Microtiltration as pretreatment to remove particulate materials


### 1. Demineralization with ion exchange, electrodialysis, and reverse osmosis

. Pumping: raw water, backwash, and finished water pumping. The Water Treatment Estimation Routine (WaTER) is based primarily on the EPA report Esrimaring Water Treatment Cosrs, Vol. 2, Cost Curves Applicable m 200 mgd Treatment Plants (EPA-600/2-79- 1626, August 1979). For estimates using cost curves from this EPA report, or from Qasim et al. (AWWA, Aug. 1992). the assumptions used in the EPA report are pertinent. The EPA report details the configuration of each process, and what is not included. The EPA is working on an update to that cost study. When it is published, we hope to incorporate the new cost curves and parameters into this program.

### OVERVIEW OF WATER TREATMENT ESTIMATION ROUTINE

- A collection of general water analyses in case you need one. Most worksheets contain a set of data that have been used to create graphs to demonstrate the relationship between cost and capacity for a range of dosage rates, or sizes, depending on the appropriated parameter for the process. You may perform sensitivity studies with these worksheets to determine how the cost is effected by the various process parameters.

3To create a new set of data for the worksheet of interest, first, erase the old set of data, then change the

desired parameters, click on the Macro command button with the name of the worksheet on it located on top of the data set. Repeat this process to generate the data. The graphs incorporated into the worksheets will update automatically when data are changed. Samples of the graphs are included in the appendix. The applicable ranges for some treatment process are listed in Table 1. If the calculated values for your system are outside these ranges, the cost values may not be representative.

### INPUT REQUIREMENTS

You may refer to the copy of [WTCOST.XLS] Capacity, H20 Analysis, and Cost Index worksheets in the appendix or, better yet, the screen version on your computer. 

### Production and Index InpUt: The Capacity, H20 Analysis, Cost Index, and Report worksheets allow the user to estimate costs for each treatment process separately. It requires following general information:

. Required plant feed flow rate in Llsec

. Desired plant product flow rate in Usec

. Water analysis

. Cost Indices: February 1999 included. 

### Water halysis Input: This table summarizes metals and inorganic components. Water analysis data is entered in the shaded column labeled “Water Analysis” in the units specified. Concentration is compared with the USEPA Drinking Water Standards Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). If there is an exceedance, it is calculated and appears in BOLD in the next column, labeled “Amount over MCL.” Equivalents per liter, and concentration in moles/liter, are calculated for your convenience, and for bookkeeping purposes. 

### Water Data RepOttS: Vita1 data from the water analysis are listed in the Capacity worksheet. These data, calculated or repeated from the water analysis, are used in the design algorithms. Cost 

### Indices: The cost components are based on those used by Qasim (1992). Each is tied to one of the Engineering News Record (ENR) or Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indices. Table 2 lists the cost components from February 1999 used in updating water treatment costs. Cost curves from the Qasim paper were updated from April 1992. Cost curves developed directly from the EPA report were updated from October 1978. Cost Reports: The Report worksheet is set up with sections for each process. Each contains the name of the process in the upper left comer. Variables are listed that are either taken from the Capacity worksheet, or are entered in the colored or shaded cells. Conshuction cost, and operation and maintenance costs are reported in each section. This represents the first level of generalization. To refine the estimates further, it is necessary to adjust process design parameters that have assumed values on their separate worksheets.

Now we get to the major drawback of using a spreadsheet for this type of application. The costs reported here are based entirely on the water analysis and production data as they are entered in the water analysis tables. If you want to use only one of the processes, that would be fine. However, the composition of the water will change after it has left any one of the processes. Then, the next process cost is based on the wrong water composition. You, the user, will have to pick the process flow scheme for your application, and adjust water analysis accordingly. The cost report should then be copied to another area of the spreadsheet and converted to values so that it will not change when you adjust the water analysis. In this way you can build a more accurate report for your application.

### MICROFILTRATION (MF INPUT & OUTPUT) Introduction: Microfiltmtion is used as pretreatment to remove particulate material from water, including microorganisms such as protozoa, bacteria (Giardia and Cqptosporidium) to meet new and future environmental requirements. The purpose of this section is to provide cost estimation for Microfiltration. This section consists of two worksheets: Micro-input and Micro-output. The cost estimation is based on factory-a:;sembled hollow fiber Microfiltration units. Most of the Microfiltration membranes system includes the following equipment:

. Membrane module skids

- membrane modules, backwash manifold pipework, integral valves and instruments, support legs, control panels.

. Air supply system

- air compressors, air dryers, coalescers and air filters, process air receiver, air regulator, plant pneumatic control enclosure, solenoid valves and instruments.

. Clean in place

- concentrate tank, concentrate transfer pump, solution tank, solution tank heater and control panel, re-circulation pump, valves and instruments.

. Control system main control panel, master PLC, plant I/O, man-machine interface.

. The Microfiltration membrane manufacturers can provide more details on the scope of supply. Micro input worksheet consists of:

. Process input

. Operation and maintenance cost input

. Process flow calculation Micro output worksheet consists of:

. Capital cost estimation(direct and indirect)

. Operation and maintenance cost estimation 

### Microfilltration Input: Process input 

### from Micro input worksheet: The following parameters are needed for cost estimation:

Design product flow rate (gpd) Plant availability (%) Microfilters system equipment cost ($) Cost per MF membrane ($) MF modular system flow rate (gpm) No. membranes per microfilter Pump efticiency (%) Motor efficiency (%) Design feed pressure (psi). Backflush pressure (psi)

. Backwash intervals (minutes)

. Backwash and backflush duration (minutes) Operation and maintenance cost input:

. Electricity rate ($/kwh)

. Chemical costs (sodium hypochlotite, $/L)

. Design dosage (II@)

. Specific gravity of sodium hypochlorite

. Solution concentration (76)

. Membrane life (year)

. Staff days/day

. Labor rate (salary and benefits, $/lx)

. Amortization time (year)

. Interest rate (7%)

. Processflow calculation: All values in this section are calculated from inputs listed above. MF feed flow is the total feed flow to the Microfiltration plant. It is calculated by:

Where: MFF = Microfiltration feed flow (Wsec)

MFP = Microfiltration product flow (L/SK) Y = Recovery rate MF reject flow (MFR (L/SK)) is the amount of water used for backwash and cleaning of the membranes. It is calculated by: 

### MFR = BBD * BBF BI
Where: BBD = backwash and backflush duration (set)

BBF = backwash flow rate (L/set) BI = backwash interval (set) Recovery rate (R) is calculated by:

Feed pump brake horsepower (HP) is calculated by: 

### Hp=MFF*DFP*2.31 PP% * 3960 Where: DFP = design feed pressure (psi) 

### 8PP% = pump efficiency (%) 2.31 = conversion factor for feet of vertical head of water per lb/in’ 3960 = another English-Metric conversion factor. Feed pump kilowatt-hour (kwh) is calculated by: kWh = MFF * DFP * 2.31* 0.00315

PP%*M%*looo Where: M% = motor efficiency (%)

0.00315 = conversion factor for consumption of electrical energy Building area in square meter is estimated to be 1.23 percent of the design product flow rate in cubic meter per day. 

### Microfiltration Output: The cost estimate does not include concentrate disposal, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, or water system storage and distribution cost. Capital coot estimation: Direct capital costs are the sum of microfilters, building, MF installation, miscellaneous, plant interconnecting piping, engineering. These cost elements are discussed below: 

### Microfilters: The actual price for microfilters is obtained from membrane manufacturers. The price will vary upon the type of microtilters and quantities involved. The total microfilters cost is estimated as the cost per skid unit times the number of units. 

### Building: The building cost is estimated $1076 per square meter times the total building area in square meter. 

### MF **installlation:** The microfilter installation cost is estimated $70,000 per unit for a large system (at 37.85 L/s flow rate). 

### Miscekmeous: This cost includes that any miscellaneous items needed to complete the project. It is estimated 5 percent of the total microfilter cost. 

### Plant interconnecting piping: This cost estimated 5 percent of the sum of total microfilter and miscellaneous costs. 

### Engineering: Engineering cost is estimated 10 percent of the sum of total microfilter and miscellaneous costs. Indirect capital cost: The indirect capital costs are the sum of:

. Interest during construction (6% of total direct capital cost)

. Contingencies (20% of total direct capital cost) 9. A&E fees and project management (10% of total direct capital cost)

. Working capital (4% of total direct capital cost) 

### Operation and maintenance cost estimation: Operation and maintenance costs include:

. Electricity

. Labor

. Chemicals (sodium hypochlorite)

. Membrane replacement

. Cleaning chemicals

. Repairs and replacement and miscellaneous Total annual cost equals the capital recovery cost plus the total operation and maintenance costs. These major O&M cost elements are discussed below: **Electricity:** Electricity cost is the total kilowatt-hour for the feed pump and backflush pump times the electricity cost ($/kwh). Labor: This cost is estimated by the number of staff days times the going rate per day. Chemicals: The cost of Sodium hypochlorite for disinfection is estimated based on the correlated formula from the Microfiltration membrane quotation data: 

### SHC * (.0025 * MFP - 333.33) Wh-Ze: SHC = sodium hypochlorite cost ($/L) Membrane **replacement:** The cost is estimated by 

### Elements * $ I Element **Cleaning chemicals:** Sodium hypochlorite cost is estimated based on the correlated formula from the Microfiltration membrane quotation data: 

### (0.00005 * MFP + 66.67) * SHC **Repairs and replacement and misc.:** The cost for repairs and replacements assumed to be 0.5% of the total direct capital cost.

### REVERSE OSMOSIS AND NANOFILTRATION (RO&NF INPUT, REJECTION AND RO&NF OUTPUT) Introduction: The purpose of this section is to provide cost estimation for Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF). This section is made up of three worksheets: RO&NF Input, Rejection and RO&NF Output. RO&NF Input worksheet consists of:

. Process input

. Data from membrane product specification

. Determination of operating pressure

. Membrane system size estimation

. Pump size estimation

. Operation and maintenance cost input parameters The Rejection worksheet calculates the actual membrane rejection and water permeation rates from the membrant: specifications for the present water quality. These values are used to calculate the osmotic pressure differential and the membrane area needed. RO&NF Output worksheet consists of:

. Capital cost estimation (direct and indirect)

. Operation and maintenance cost estimation 

### RO&NF Input: Process in@: The calculation routine is based on desired product or permeate flow rate. Desired product flow rate i.s the value entered on the Capacity worksheet. The percent recovery, the ratio of product flow rate to feed flow rate, is entered on the Report worksheet in the Reverse Osmosis section. If the recovery value is too high, there will be problems with the cost estimate. To give you an idea of what recovery rates should be, first check the delta G value in the water data report section in Capacity worksheet. If it is negative or close to zero, or if you plan to use acidification and/or antiscalants, you can use the following estimates. Seawater 50 %

15,000 to 20,000 TDS 75 % 5,000 to 15,000 TDS 85 % Nanofiltration 90 % These values are only estimates; the maximum recovery possible depends on the composition of the feed water. If the product water concentration is lower than necessary, as is often the case with RO, it may be possible to decreze the membrane system capacity by blending the product water with pretreated feed water. The blending aoption is specified in the RO and NF section of the Report worksheet. If the response is yes (Y). the ratio of blend water to product will be calculated based on the target product water TDS. The membrane system will be sized for the resulting smaller capacity. If no (N) is entered, this value will be 13zero. The maximum portion of blend water that can be used, assuming the blend water has the same TDS

as the feed water is calculated as follows:



# c,v, = c,v, + c,v, v, = G-C, c, -c, Where C stands for concentration in mg/L, V is flow, with VT = 1. Subscripts T is for target, p is for RO permeate and b is for blend water. Datafrom membrane product specijications: Information for this section is obtained from the membrane product specification sheets provided by membrane manufacturers. Table 3 lists data needed. This data should be on all manufacturers specification sheets. Table 3: Membrane Data Type of membrane Film Tee.

### 0.99 = NaCl dissociation constant. Concentration of salt in feed water, Ct:

Where: TIX, = feed TDS, mg/L Avg MW = feed average molecular weight, assuming NaCl is used to test the membranes, this would be 58.4 g/mole. Osmotic pressure of the feed solution, concentration polarization and the resulting decrease in productivity are accounted for using a model method developed by Rao and Sirkar (1978) for the perfectly mixed feed and permeate model, with concentration polarization Let C, = boundaty layer concentration at the membrane interface caused by concentration polarization. Assume that no gel formation occurs. Because the feed side is perfectly mixed, C, = C,, where C, = bulk concentration. Then: C, = 

## c, - ec,

l-0 where 9 = recovery rate of water. The intrinsic rejection of a membrane is defined as 

### R”= l-C&. This is different from the apparent rejection, 

### R, = I CJC,. The intrinsic rejection is a characteristic of the membrane. The apparent rejection is determined by the operating conditions. For lack of anything better, we assum’: that the reported rejection, most likely measured under optimum conditions with a minimum chalienge., is close to the intrinsic rejection. We can then use this to estimate C,, the wall concentration and the C,, the product concentration to be expected with the current operating conditions. From the simple boundary layer model for concentration polarization and assuming that 

### R” is constant, the following relationship for C, is obtained:

The actual permeation rate J, is now:
As calculated above with the new estimation for C,. This group of relationships is non-linear because of the exponential term and must be solved iteratively (using successive substitutions). There is a graph of R, and J, on the Rejection sheet showing the solution progress through much iteration. If the solution fails to stabilize, check the inputs for accuracy. 16Determimztion of operatingpressure: The NDP used for the specification testing is the default NDP used

to determine the recommended operating pressure. The user can change this value. The osmotic pressure of the feed water is calculated as described above and then the operating pressure is calculated as follows: P app = NDPi f Pa,
Where: P,,, = applied operating pressure under the conditions of interest for the cost estimate,

kPa NDPi = net driving pressure entered by the user (may chose to enter the manufacturer’s test

NDP,), kPa P Own = osmotic pressure difference between the bulk stream and product stream based on

the membrane rejection and recovery rate and the water analysis provided, kPa It is assumed that the water transport coefficient, A, is constant under all conditions, independent of feed water TDS and operating pressure. The new J,is calculated as above using the new pressure conditions. Membrane system size estimation: With J, calculated for the water quality and operating pressure, the number of membrane modules can be calculated. There are user inputs for the number of modules per vessel and number of vessels per block. The required number is rounded up to tit into the specified configuration. The number of blocks determines the number of chemical feed systems and pressure pumps. The user specifies the number of product water pumps, transfer pumps, raw water pumps and the administrative building area. There are three different types of pumps: single stage turbine (SST), centrifugal single speed (CSS) or variable speed turbine (VST). There is a different cost correlation for each type based on horsepower. All of the pumps sizing calculations are the same. Pomp horsepower is based on the capacity per block, pressure differential, pipe diameter, length of piping and vertical lift needed. Pipe diameter is tied in with the capacity per block. The lengths of piping and vertical lift have default values. Pressure differential for the high pressure pumps is based on the calculated operating pressure. The other pumps have default V&K?& Operation and maintenance cost inputparameters: Chemical costs, membrane life, cleaning rate, and operation!; labor can be input in this section. Number of labor hours includes only hours required for the reverse osmosis system. Electrical costs and labor cost are brought over from the Cost Index sheet. 

### RO&NF Output: Capital cost estimation: The relations for most of the direct capital costs are extracted from technical paper presented by Suratt (1995). Direct capital costs are the sum of membranes, RO skids, building, electrical, instrumentation & controls, high pressure pumps, raw water transfer pumps, product water pumps, degasifiers, odor control, process p:lping, yard piping, chemical feed with pumps, cartridge filters, membrane cleaning equipment, contractor engineering & training, concentrate treatment & pipin,, c1 e oenerators, and sitework.

### Cost Computation:

Capital cost is determined by multiplying the membrane cost by the construction factor. The construction factor used here is 1.65. This value was arrived at by adjusting the membrane operation variables till the electrical and membrane requirements matched those listed in a published cost estimate (Pittner, 1993) and then multiplying by an appropriate construction factor so that the costs matched also. Operation and maintenance costs are the sum of chemical addition, maintenance, membrane replacement, labor, electricity and capita1 recovery costs. Chemical addition costs are dependent on the TDS of the feed water and are indexed to the “Maintenance Material Index.” General maintenance is 5% of the capital cost and is also indexed to Maintenance Material. Membrane replacement is the amortized cost of replacing the membranes in 15 years at the given interest rate. Labor cost is simply S/year at the given labor wage rate. Electricity requirements are calculated above. Capita1 recovery is the amortized cost of the capital over the life of the plant at the given interest rate.

### DISINFECTION WITH CHLORINE AND CHLORAMINE (CL2 AND NHCL) Design: Cost estimation for chlorine and/or chloramine disinfection is based on the amount of chemicals used per day. Chlorine demand is determined from the concentration of nitrite and reduced inorganic transition metals, such as chromium, copper, iron, and manganese, present in the water. These metals are oxidized from +2 charge to +3 by the hypochlorite ion by the following reaction (Snoeyink & Jenkins, 1980, pp. 391-395):

Hypochlo:rite reacts with nitrite to form nitrate: 

### HCIO- + NO;

- NO; + Cl- + H’ Therefore, one mole of aqueous chlorine is needed for each two moles of divalent transition metal, and one mole for each mole of nitrite, before the required chlorine residual will accumulate. For disinfection with chloramine, ammonia is reacted with free chlorine in the water to form mono- and dichloramine: 

### NHj,,,,+HOCl-NH?Cl+H,O NHzCl+HOCl-NHClz+HzO The ratio of ammonia to hypochlorite used for maintenance of a combined chlorine residual is 1:l 

### Input:

The concentration of chromium, copper, iron, manganese, and nitrite is taken from the H20 Analysis worksheet. Chlorine demand is given by:



### 3 3Chlorine residual and chloramine residual are input from the Report worksheet. The volume of water

treated is input from the Capacity worksheet. The kilograms of chlorine needed per day is then:

where Clzd is the chlorine demand and Clzr is the free chlorine residual. If chloramine disinfection is used, chlorine demand is determined as for chlorine disinfection, then ammonia and chlorine are added in a one to one molar ratio to produce the required residual.

### NHzCfi .+ 71 w Cllcaql L L 51.4 mg NH 2 Cl/mmole mm& NH 2 Cl Cost Computation: Capital cost, and operation and maintenance costs are calculated from the formulas for chlorine storage and feed with cylinder storage in Qasim et al. (1992).

Where X = kg Cl? per day. Cost formulas for ammonia addition are based on anhydrous ammonia feed:



### cc = 3849.2 * xD.MR * e-J.5E.5-x
0 + MC = - 28063 * e1-Z.4’E-4*X’+ 36160
Where X = kg NH, per day (Qasim, et al, 1992). 34output:

The worksheet for chlorine disinfection returns the capital, and O&M cost for chlorine addition sufficient to supply the chlorine demand, and provide the indicated chlorine residual. The chloramine disinfection worksheet returns capital cost and O&M cost for addition of both chlorine and ammonia, sufficient to produce the combined chlorine residual specified. This cost estimate may be high if there are overlapping costs associated with the combination of chlorine addition and ammonia addition formulas. 

### Links:

. Transition metal and nitrite concentration is taken from the water analysis table on the H20 Analysis worksheet.

. Treatment requirements input from the Report worksheet.

. Costs output to Report worksheet. 

### Assumptions: There are three important assumptions made in the cost modeling for chlorine and chloramine disinfection:

. The sum of the concentrations of metals and nitrite will give an adequate estimate of chlorine demand. The oxidation state of these metals is not usually given in a water analysis, so it is assumed that the whole concentration is at a +fI state. This is probably not accurate, but it may balance out other chlorine demand that is not accounted for in this model.

. A 1:l ratio of residual chlorine to ammonia will produce the necessary combined chlorine residual. According to V.L Snoeyink and D. Jenkins (Water Chemistry, p 395, 1980, John Wiley & Sons), the ratio of residual chlorine, as Cl?, to initial NH, oxidized is 1 at a ratio of 1 :I, Cl2 dose:NH3 initial. The combined residual at this point is composed of NHzCl with a trace of NH&

. For chloramine disinfection, Qasim’s cost models for chlorine addition and ammonia addition are added together using the amounts of each needed for the required residual. This may give a high cost estimate due to overlap in cost items in the two models. It is assumed that the overlap is insignificant. Manufactured equipment is the highest component for each of the processes. Housing is second for chlorine feed and storage. The two chemicals would need their own equipment for feed and storage, so these components are not highly overlapping. The portion that may be significant is the labor cost for O&M. This cost may need modification in the future.

### OZONE DISINFECTION 

### (OZONE) Introduc:tion: Ozone (O,), an allotrope of oxygen (O?), is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents available for water treatment. A substantial amount of energy is required to split the stable oxygen-oxygen covalent bond to form ozone. The resulting Oj molecule is highly unstable. It was thought that ozone might be a suitable replacement for chlorine, which forms tri-halomethanes. Ozone has the potential to form the same byproducts though, as long as halides are available to react with the oxidized organic compounds. Ozone decomposes rapidly, however, which makes it a safer choice for pretreatment ahead of chlorine sensitive membrane processes. 

### Purpose!: This work:;heet provides an estimation of capital costs and yearly power costs for an ozone system. The capital cost estimation includes costs associated with the ozone generator and the contact chamber. Estimates are derived from equations found in Qasim et al. (1992). Electricity costs are computed using a nominal power requirement per kilogram of ozone produced, and the local cost of electricity per kWh. 

### Links: Ozone dor,age in mg/L, and contact time in minutes, are taken from the Report worksheet. Values of 3 mg/L, and 2 minutes, are suggested as normal levels. Flow rate is taken from the Capacity worksheet. Electrical ,:ost is taken from the Cost Index worksheet. 

### Cost Co’mputation: Ozone generation, and contact chamber costs are calculated by the following equations for 1992 dollars, then updated with the current index values. o~~c~,r~ = 392.4 * x0.919 + 68000 Where x = chlorine feed capacity in kg/day

Where x = chamber volume in m’. Operation and maintenance costs for the contact chamber are included with those for ozone generation.

### ACID FEED (DG&ACID AND ACID) Acid feed may be used in reverse osmosis to lower the pH of the feed water to levels compatible with the membranes used. With cellulose acetate membranes, this 1s about pH 5.5. Thin film composite membranes are not as sensitive to pH as cellulose acetate, but acid feed still may be used to control scaling 

### Design: The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is normally used to predict the carbonate scaling tendency of water. In this model the Gibbs Free Energy (AG) is used instead. The AG calculations can be used for determining other solubility equilibria whereas, LSI is only for determining carbonate solubility. LSI can be calculated from AG as follows.

### Cost Computation:

Cost computations are done with ACID worksheet. Liters/second treated is input from the Capacity worksheet, and acid feed/day from DG&ACID worksheet. Formulas for capital and O&M costs are from Qasim et al, 1992. 

### cc= 61,010.6 * x0.79” + 8,818O

0 + MC = - 42,397.4 * ei-6.82E-3*XJ + 43,670

Where X = m3 of sulfuric acid per day. 

### Output:: AG is output to the water data report section in the Capacity worksheet. Capital cost, O&M cost and liters 96% H*SO? per day is output to the Report worksheet. 

### Links: DG&AC:[D worksheet is linked to ACID worksheet, H20 Analysis, water data report in the Capacity worksheet and the Report worksheet. ACID worksheet cost reports to the Report worksheet. 

### Assumptions: Ionic strength is accounted for, but the only scaling tendency checked is that of calcium carbonate. The system is assumed to be at equilibrium with the atmosphere. Assumptions used in the EPA report are in effect for this estimate as well. 

### Improvements: Scaling tendencies for other constituents should be calculated. The AG calculation could be modified for this purpose by entering the proper solubility constants. Some good candidates would be silica, calcium sulfate, b,arium sulfate, strontium sulfate, and ferric hydroxide.

### ALUM OR FERRIC SULFATE FEED (ALUMFD AND IRONFD)
Alum or ferric sulfate coagulation is used for clarification. It is another process, like lime softening, that is designed t,o lower turbidity through precipitation of a sparingly soluble salt. 

### Design: Alum or ferric sulfate react with alkalinity in the water to produce a hydroxide precipitate. Both react according to the following formula:



### Fe>( Sod jj f

### Input: Alkalinity is taken from the water analysis section of the H20 Analysis worksheet. Volume of water treated is taken from the Capacity worksheet. 

### Cost Colmputation: Formulas For ferric and alum sulfate feed capital and O&M costs we from Qasim et al. (1992). There are formulas for both dry, and liquid (50% by weight), alum sulfate feed. Generally, the dose of liquid alum needed is twice that for dry alum.

### POLYMER FEED (POLYFD) Polymer is added to prevent scaling in RO and NF systems. It is also used for clarification and as a coagulant or flocculant aid. 

### Design: The amount of polymer needed depends on the type of polymer and the purpose for adding it. In any case, very little is needed. The precise amount is determined through jar testing. For design purposes, we will use 0.5 grams per cubic meter as suggested in the Water Treafment Handbook (0.05 to 0.5 g/m’, Degremont, 1991, ~144) for a combination of synthetic flocculant and coagulant for clarification of surface waters. 

### Input: Volume of water treated is taken from the Capacity worksheet

Where X equals Kg polymer per day. 

### output: Capital and operation and maintenance costs are output to the Report worksheet 

### Links: The links are to the Capacity, H20 Analysis, Cost Index, and Report worksheets. 

### Assumptions: The only assumption, other than those made in the EPA report on which the cost formulas are based, is that 0.5 mg per liter is a representative dosage of polymer.

### POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE WMNOJ Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent. It is used for iron, manganese removal A combination of KMnOJ oxidation and manganese-greensand filtration was selected for testing. Manganese-greensand provides effective filtration and also controls under and over dosing of KMn04 (prevents the development of pink water breakthrough). Manganese (II) removal depends on the precipitation of MnOz(s)(manganese[IV] [manganic dioxide], as follows:

Manganic dioxide is insoluble over the entire pH range of interest in drinking water treatment. Also, the oxidation of both Mn” and Fet2(ferrous iron) using KMn04 is reported to be quite rapid at pH 7 and higher (Glase, 1990). The stoichiometry for manganese and iron oxidized with permanganate is: I,.92 mg/L KMn04 per mg/L of Md’ removed 0,94 mg/L KMn04 per mglL of Fe” removed 

### Input: Volume of water treated is taken from the Capacity worksheet. 

### Cost Computation:

Formulas for potassium permanganate feed capital and operation and maintenance costs are from Qasim et al, 1992:


### 0+ MC = -2125.9e-0.0'689X +5600 Where X equals dry potassium permanganate feed in kg/day.

### Links: The links are to the Capacity, H20 Analysis, Cost Index, and Report worksheets 47

### LIME & SODA ASH FEED (LIMEFD) Design: Lime and soda ash are added to precipitate excess carbonate, and in the process, removes metals and constituents that cause turbidity. Lime, Ca(OH)>, and soda ash, NaKO,, react with carbonate hardness to precipitate calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. 

### Ca”+2HCa+Ca(OH),~2CaC~~+2Hz0 Mg’+ + 2 HCO; + 2Ca(OH )* fs Mg(OH )z J +2 CaCOj J + Hz 0

The sum of these two reactions is:



### Ca2++ Mg”+4HCO;+ 3Ca(OH )? tt4CaC0, .h +Mg(OH )z J +3H20

This react.ion is used when all components are available. The Mg’+ and Ca”’ are reacted with alkalinity and lime [to form CaCO; and Mg(OH)z. The limiting reagent is determined by the mole ratio of each component. Then the amount of lime required for the initial reaction is calculated. The remaining Mg2+ or Ca” is reacted with remaining alkalinity. If carbonate alkalinity is zero, no more lime is needed. If Mg’+ is zero, formula (1) is used to calculate amount off lime to complete softening. Reaction (1) requires one mole of Ca(OH)? per mole of Cazi. If Mg’+ is not zero, the Ca” is zero, formula (2) is used to calculate amount of lime needed to complete softening,, Reaction (2) requires 2 moles of ca(OH)? per mole of Mg”. If HCO&02 were the limiting reagent, which means that Ca” and Mg’+ are in excess of alkalinity. The soda ash j&z used to precipitate Ca” and Mg*+. The following reactions demonstrate the relationship between soda ash and Ca” and Mg*‘:
Ca” + NazC03 tf CaCO3 J + 2 Na’ Mg” + Naz CO3 f 

### Ca(OH )J c+ Mg(OH )z J + CaCOj J

4 9

### Input:

Calcium, magnesium, carbon dioxide and alkalinity content of the water are taken from the water analysis in the H20 Analysis worksheet. If the percent reduction column is blank or zero for these values, the cost estimate will consider the total hardness, resulting in high cost estimates. Volume of water treated is taken from the Capacity worksheet. 

### Cost Computation: Formulas for lime & soda ash feed capital, and operation and maintenance costs are developed from the 1979 EPA report (R.C. Gumerman, 1979) 

### CC= -24,950.92+20,424.67* In(x) 

### O+MC= 866.29 * x"'~~' Where X equals Kg Lime per day 

### output: Capital and operation and maintenance costs are output to the Report worksheet 

### Links: The links are to the Capacity, H20 Analysis, Cost Index, and Report worksheets. Water analysis data is taken from the H20 Analysis worksheet and cost data is returned to the Report worksheet.

It is assumed that calcium and magnesium react with bicarbonate ion and calcium hydroxide at the same rate. If calcium was preferentially precipitated with bicarbonate before the magnesium, more soda ash would be needed to precipitate the magnesium. This would mean higher capital and O&M cost. 

### Improvements: Since lime and soda ash softening is not the technology of choice, cost estimates for this process are primarily for comparison. Lime softening is not a precision process. As long as lime is added in excess, the process works. Therefore, refinement of the cost estimate would have to come from new price information, rather than improvements to the design of the cost model. The cost estimate provided for lime feed is only for the lime feed system; it does not cover the cost a clarifier, or sludge processing or disposal.

### GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON @AC) Introduction: Granular activated carbon (GAC) is used to remove color, odor, organic chemicals, disinfection byproducts, and chlorine from water through the process of adsorption. If the water has not been pre-tilwed, the carbon bed may also serve as a granular filter, in which case, backwashing is a more significant design criteria. 

### Cost Eetimate: This worlcsheet provides estimates of the capital and operating costs of a granular activated carbon (GAC) bed. Both are based entirely on flow rate and bed life. Costs are estimated using relationships derived from cost data in the 1979 EPA repon. It is apparent from this data that there is a change in size versus cost relat:ionship at 4000 m’/day. Capital costs for GAC are fairly constant with respect to capacity until a production level of 4000 m’/day. Above this level, there are different cost curves for a bed life of 3, 6, and 12 months. Regeneration costs are not included. The cost parameter used in these equations is mg/day. The composition of the water is not considered. Cost equations are as follows. 3.6, or l:? month bed life, capacity 5 4000 m31day,

### GRAVITY FILTRATION (SLOWSAND) Introduc:tion: Granular filtration removes particulate matter such as algae, colloidal humic compounds, viruses, asbestos fibers, and colloidal clay from water. Matter accumulates on the surface, or is collected throughout the depth of the bed. The purpose of this worksheet is sizing and cost estimation of granular filtration systems. 

### Design: There are two components: the backwashing system and the gravity filter structure with sand as the media. Costs for both are based on the area of the filter bed. Required input for area determination are:

. Flow rate (Wsec)

. Total suspended solids b@-)

. Backwash cycle (24 h&cycle)

. Density of suspended solids (35 gm

. Maximum media capacity (110 L TSS/m3 media)

. Media depth (1 4 Flow rate is input on the Capacity worksheet. Total suspended solids is input on the H20 Analysis worksheet. The other parameters are input on the gravity filtration worksheet. Default values are listed above. 

### Cost Estimation: Costs estimates are derived from equations in Qasim et al. (1992):



### OMsw=73.3 * p5 + 2,200

Where x is the area of the filter bed in meters. 

### Improvements: Future developments may include modifications of the generalized cost estimation equations to accommodate using different media.

### UPFLOW SOLIDS CONTACT CLARIFIER (UFSCC)

Upflow solids contact clarifiers can be used with lime softening, and alum, or ferric sulfate precipitation. The chemical slurry is fed into the reaction zone in the center of the clarifier. Feed water flows up through the precipitate at the bottom. Contact with the solids speeds precipitation so that a shorter detention time is needed. As the water flows away from the center of the reactor, the solids settle out. Water is collected at the sides from the surface. Sludge is pumped out periodically from the bottom. 

### Design: The size of the clarifier is determined from the flow rate and the detention time. Flow rate is taken from the Capacity worksheet, and detention time from the Report worksheet. The height of the tank is assumed to be 4.8 meters. Operation and maintenance cost have three options based on the “rapid mix G value.” The “rapid mix G value”, or mean velocity gradient is used to determine the size of the floes produced as a function of the viscosity of the fluid at a certain temperature, and the rate of power dissipated into the tank volume. These terms are used to calculate G.

where: G= mean velocity gradient, l/s

P = power requirement, Watt p = dynamic viscosity, N.s/m’. V= tank volume, m3 Costs for G values of 70, 110, and 150 are computed. Number of clarifiers can be specified in the Report worksheet. 

### Cost Clomputation: Cost curves were derived from data in EPA-600/2-79.162b. These are updated with current index values.

### PUMPS (PUMPS) Introduction: 

### There are different types of pumps commonly employed in industrial operations. The ones examined in this work:jheet are Single Speed Turbine (SST), Variable Speed Turbine (VST), and Centrifugal Single Speed pomps. Design:: 

### For each type of pump, the horsepower (HP) required by the pump to deliver the volume the water has to be determined. The horsepower is determined by using equation (10) in page 5 16 (Peters and Timmerhaus,l980) as:

Where: W = theoretical mechanical energy, hp

z = vertical distance above datum plane, m V = linear velocity of fluid, m/set gc = gravitational acceleration, 9.81 m/s2 P = absolute pressure, kPa ” = specific volume of the fluid, m’/kg Direct Costs: 

### The cost of these pumps are determined as follows, Speed Turbine (SST): 5S,OOO*(HP/lOO )'." The valid horsepower range for SST is 3 HP to 300 HP. Variable Speed Turbine (VST): 85,000 *(HP/IO0 )'." The valid horsepower range for VST is 3 HP to 500 HP Centrifugal Single Speed (CSS): 35,000 *(HP/l00 )o.65The valid horsepower range for CSS is 3 HP to 350 HP.



### Operating Cost: The operating costs are power consumption, lubrication, cooling water, and maintenance for the pump. The cost information are based on the Pump Handbook (page 9-66) edited by Karassik, Krutzsch, Fraser, and Messina. Lubricating oil consumption is based on 0.02 gal/l00 hp-hr for each pair of bearings. A motor driven centrifugal pump results in 0.04 gal/l00 hp-hr total. Cooling water requirements are based on 10 “F temperature rise and 2 percent ener,~ loss to the water for each pair of bearings. The annual operating costs associated with each pump arrangement are developed from the following: Lubricating oil 0.7 x 0.04 (bhp per 100) x 8760 Cooling water

- (0.075 per 1,000) (bhp per 100) x 60 x 8760 Maintenance

- 1.5 x bhp Where bhp is brake horsepower. 

### output: The direct costs and operating costs for the pumps are output to the Report worksheet.

### CLEARWELL STORAGE (CLEARWELL)
Introduction: Product water is commonly stored at the plant site with clearwells. Clearwell storage can be constructed by either below ground in reinforced concrete structures, or above ground in steel tanks. Instrumentation and control of the clearwell water level is very important to pace the plant output. Input: The below ground and above ground level clearwell storage capacities are input on the clearwell storage section of the Report worksheet. Cost Computation: Construction cost formulas for clearwell storage below ground and above ground costs are developed from the 1979 EPA report (EPA-600/Z-79.162b.page 453-454). Below ground:
CC=-0.0002X 2 +99.004X+37941 (for capacity less than or equal to 3785 m’)
CC = 49.084X + 224887 (for capacity greater than 3785 m’) Ground level: CC=-0.054X 2 +104.88X+21400 (for capacity less than or equal to 333 m’)

(for capacity greater than 333 m3)
CC = 0.0002 x ’ + 39.556X + 58237

59Where X is the clearwell capacity in m3

output: Construction costs for below ground and above ground level clearwell storage are output to the Report worksheet.
