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 (on average), 8 hours a day = 80kg per day = 400kg per a 5 day week = 40 x 10kg bags per week.
Selling 10kg for £4 gives a weekly revenue of £160 x 46 weeks / year.
Average annual working weeks including annual and Bank Holidays equating to possible annual revenue of £7,360.
Other benefits / savings per annum:
Landfill tax: £40 per ton
Annual production of waste 18.4 tons: saving you £736
Skip hire + manipulation £80 per ton in average: saving you £1,472
briquette average production quantity and revenue: | |||
time | kilograms | 10 kg bags (£4 each) | value (£) |
1 hour | 10 kg | 1 pcs | £4 |
1 day (8 hours) | 80 kg | 8 pcs | £32 |
1 week (5 days) | 400 kg | 40 pcs | £160 |
1 year (46 weeks) | 18,400 kg | 1,840 pcs | £7,360 |
Additional savings:
type | item | amount | value (£) |
cost saving | Landfill tax saving | 18.4 tonnes (£40 / ton) | £736 |
cost saving | Skip hire+manipulation | 18.4 tonnes (£80 / ton – average) | £1,472 |
Additional annual savings in total | £2,208 |
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 = £4.20.
This is thermal energy (UK gas units) worth approx. £7,728 per year minus £1,829 of consumed electricity.
+ possible landfill tax and skip hire savings (i.e. + £736 + £1,472 respectively).
