Financial Benefits – profit from sales or from thermal energy
* The following example illustrates how cost effective the PH Briquette machine is:
Potential annual income from briquette sales:
10kg of briquettes per hour (subject to input material), 8 hours a day = 80kg per day = 400kg per a 5 day week = 40 x 10kg bags per week.
Selling 10kg for £6 gives a weekly revenue of £240 x 46 weeks / year.
Average annual working weeks including annual and Bank Holidays equating to possible annual revenue of £11,040.
Other benefits / savings per annum:
Landfill tax: £3.25 per ton
Annual production of waste 18.4 tons: saving you £59.80
Skip hire + manipulation £100 per ton in average: saving you £1,840
| briquette average production quantity and revenue: | |||
| time | kilograms | 10 kg bags (£6 each) | value (£) |
| 1 hour | 10 kg | 1 pcs | £6 |
| 1 day (8 hours) | 80 kg | 8 pcs | £48 |
| 1 week (5 days) | 400 kg | 40 pcs | £240 |
| 1 year (46 weeks) | 18,400 kg | 1,840 pcs | £11,040 |
Additional savings:
| type | item | amount | value (£) |
| cost saving | Landfill tax saving | 18.4 tonnes (£3.25 / ton) | £59.80 |
| cost saving | Skip hire+manipulation | 18.4 tonnes (£100 / ton – average) | £1,840 |
| Additional annual savings in total | £1,899.80 | ||
Profit from thermal energy
Aside from sales revenue and saved skip hire and landfill fees, any briquette machine will pay for itself in less than a year based purely on thermal energy produced from its briquettes.
PH briquette machine example:
Average production of 10 kg per hour (1kg of briquettes = 6kW) = 60 kW = £6.
This is thermal energy (UK gas units) worth approx. £11,040 per year minus £1,829 of consumed electricity.
+ possible landfill tax and skip hire savings (i.e. + £59.80 + £1,840 respectively).
