water treatment plants
Water treatment plants use redundancy to increase plant availability, specifically process continuation, which is costly and space demanding.

Costs - benefits: amortization of the Mechmine solution in 3 to 20 months
In waste water treatment plants (WWTP), plant availability, strictly speaking process reliability, is traditionally achieved through redundancy. This comes at a price: each machine in multiple versions means more space and higher investment costs. The cost of an additional process line, i.e. increased redundancy, can be estimated at around CHF 1 million and is subject to capacity. Another example: if the sludge stacking time in an WWTP is 72 hours, then there are three days left to get a subsequent centrifuge running after its breakdown. Depending on the type of defect, this is tight, e.g. if the manufacturer is located abroad. Here, of course, the sludge pile container could be enlarged or a spare parts depot could be established. Spare parts for a centrifuge, for example, easily tie-up CHF 150,000 in capital. A larger sludge container takes up more space and costs more. Alternatively, increased operational safety can be achieved using machine monitoring.
