It depends on the technology ...

It depends on the technology and process employed. If it is a conventional plant (coagulation, clarification, filtration and disinfection) with fairly good raw water quality, it can be US$2-2.5 million. If water quality is very good so that only filtration and disinfection are required, It can be very much cheaper. Else if you need to engage enhanced pretreatment to remove COD, ammonia and other pollutants, you have to add on that cost. Or if you use membrane technologies like UF, the cost can be 15-30% higher but footprint can be saved. 

Our RICS system is an affordable package water treatment system with capacity ranging from 30m3/hr to 200 m3/hr. Due to its unique and compact design, it saves cost up to 30% than the conventional system.

Hello Mr. Steve,

Thanks for your response

 

I believe USD 2-2.5 Million is quite high a capex for installing a conventional water treatment plant with a capacity of 10 MLD in developing economies of Southeast Asia. Is it that you assuming the plants to be fully automated?

As here in India, not every plant installed is automated and organisations tend to save a lot of money out of this.

Hi Aayush, yes it is a fully automated plant with reasonable design and decent equipment. The cost really For manually operated WTP, if it also goes without online instrumentation,  you can save another 30-40%, I guess.
