Calculations

Cost Comparison

1. Initial Cost:
   • Rotary Drum Dryer: Rs. 1,25,00,000
   • Hydraulic Press Roll: Rs. 60,00,000
2. Difference in Cost: Rs.1,25,00,000−Rs.60,00,000=Rs.65,00,000
3. Percentage Difference: (65,00,000/1,25,00,000)×100=52% 

Power Comparison

1. Power Consumption:
   • Rotary Drum Dryer: 100 kW
   • Hydraulic Press Roll: 80 kW
2. Difference in Power Consumption: 100 kW−80 kW=20 kW
3. Percentage Difference: (20/100)×100=20%

Operating Cost Comparison

1. Operating Cost per kg:
   • Rotary Drum Dryer: Rs. 3.00 per kg
   • Hydraulic Press Roll: Rs. 0.50 per kg
2. Difference in Operating Cost per kg: Rs.3.00−Rs.0.50=Rs.2.50
3. Percentage Difference: (2.50/3.00)×100=83.33%

Summary

• Cost Comparison: The Hydraulic Press Roll is 52% cheaper than the Rotary Drum Dryer.
• Power Consumption Comparison: The Hydraulic Press Roll consumes 60% less power than the Rotary Drum Dryer.
• Operating Cost Comparison: The Hydraulic Press Roll has 83.33% lower operating costs compared to the Rotary Drum Dryer.
• Overall: The Hydraulic Press Roll is significantly more cost-effective in terms of initial investment, power consumption, and operating costs compared to the Rotary Drum Dryer.

Based on this hypothetical scenario, the cost of processing biomass details provided by PelletIndia.com, the comparison between the Biomass Rotary Drum Dryer and the Hydraulic Press Roll shows significant advantages for the Hydraulic Press Roll in terms of lower initial cost, reduced power consumption, and lower operating costs. This makes the Hydraulic Press Roll a more cost-effective and energy-efficient option for drying Biomass Materials and CBG Manure.
