Equation for Working Out Cost of Wastewater Treatment Plant

Hi All.

Is there an equation for calculating the estimated cost of a municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plant, when the volumetric capacity of the plant is known?

Likewise, what is the equation for working out the area required for the plant, when capacity is known?

1. Thank you, Prof. Saraf. I will

2. As such there is no equation available to give the cost of Sewage / Industrial Waste water treatment. However many efforts are made to develop the mathematical models to predicts the cost. The cost mainly depends on Biological oxygen demand, suspended solids, quality of treated waste water and the site conditions. In past I did some work on financial costing of sewage treatment plant. For further details please contact on rvsveipl@gmail.com. Prof. Rajendrakumar V Saraf, Chairman Viraj Envirozing India Pvt. Ltd. Pune, India

3. Have you also checked the opportunities of Water Accounting?    Best regards, Aida Karazhanova, aidakarazhanova1@gmail.com

4. Maybe worth trying this: https://www.organicawater.com/ocs-express

   It provides complete design package from data.

   1. There is an embedded design tool here on The Water Network that will provide a free design including much moe than simple parameters that you ask for https://wwtpdesign.thewaternetwork.com/

5. Dear Prof: Ajit: Thanks. I’m afraid, I’m talking of town-level wastewater treatment plants (1 mgd), and of major industries (0.1 mgd).

   Dr. Bonny: My computer is unable to open your website. Kindly indicate the equation(s).

   Mr. Paul: I want for South Asian region.

7. Dear F H M.

   I can help on data for natural treatment of home discharge waste water ex house holds.

   Can give the area of land requiremnt.

   Based on this type of treatment, can work out cost of plant excluding land cost.

   Pl advise ... seshadri.ajitManish Nema (mnema007@gmail.com) well wishes.

8. visit my page to see some Equation for Working Out Cost of Wastewater Treatment, may not be exactly what you need.

10. There is a software; CAPDET Works by Hydromantis of Canada can provide cost estimate for wastewater treatment plant "accurately" for North American locations.
