From preparation to commissioning
- Design documentation and pretreatment
- Housings, equipment and initial media charge
- Pumps, pipework and instrumentation
- Installation, civil works and commissioning
- Standby capacity and automation
Investment is the start. Operation matters.
CAPEX is the initial investment; OPEX covers operating costs. System selection compares both over the same period.
A clear view of costs.
Approximate baseline estimates for comparison. These are not a quotation, price list or guaranteed cost for your system.
Illustrative scenario from the existing presentation. Replace the amounts with comparable quotation data. The calculation does not predict the cost of your system.
Calculation basis: The defaults are 120 m³/h, a 1 µg/L PFAS mixture and 10 years of operation. The calculation assumes media replacement at least annually.Compare costs for the same scope.
Enter the initial investment (CAPEX) and total operating costs for all 10 years (OPEX). Total cost and cost per m³ update automatically.
| Technology | CAPEX (€) | OPEX, 10 years (€) | Total (€) | €/m³ |

Total costs over 10 years.
Initial investmentOperation · 10 years
Cost per m³ = (CAPEX + ten-year OPEX) / water volume treated over 10 years.
Amounts are nominal, without discounting or indexation. The source material does not specify the tax basis. The calculation does not add VAT.
Equal scope. Comparable costs.
