h1. Analysis *The table depicts the quoted prices of tube and plate settlers, the cost of AguaClara plate settlers, and the normalized quoted price.* {excel:file=^plate source.xls} [Link to the above spreadsheet|^plate source.xls] The above table depicts the length (L), and the distance between each plate or the diameter of the tube (b) of all quoted settler systems and the current AguaClara settler design implemented at communities before the Four Communities Plant. All calculations are based upon the estimated area of the Gracias plant of 86.21 meters squared. To normalize the analysis of different performing and cost systems the Vup/Vc ratio equation was calculated. The price of one module of plate setter was then divided by this ratio. The Meurer price per square meter [quote|^Plate Settler Proposal 5-6-09.doc] includes shipping to any US port. On top of this price, I added $10,000 dollars to the total cost as an estimate of the shipping price from the US to Honduras. I choose this price based upon the shipping [quote|^Plate Settler Proposal 5-6-09.doc]that I received from Brentwood for shipping from Mexico to Tegucigalpa Honduras. It should be noted that the Meurer quote is the only quote that does include the support structure for the settling system. The Enviropax shipping quote was also estimated at $15,000. |
