Selecting a wastewater type pre-fills typical quantities, prices and lifespans below — you can adjust any of them to match your actual system.
Your Current System (Conventional)
Cleaning Chemicals — Depends on Application
Chemical cost per 1 UF membrane, Conventional$0 / day
Chemical cost per 1 UF membrane, Esmil$0 / day
Chemical cost per 1 RO membrane, Conventional$0 / day
Chemical cost per 1 RO membrane, Esmil$0 / day
These values are set automatically based on the selected wastewater type and multiplied by the number of membranes and 365 days — the result is included in the totals on the right.

Calculation Assumption

Application type determines cleaning requirements

To provide a realistic comparison, the calculator uses typical cleaning frequency and chemical consumption values for different wastewater applications. These assumptions are based on Esmil engineering experience and can be adjusted during a detailed project evaluation.

Membrane Lifespan

Longer Life — Fewer Replacements — Less Downtime

Over a 5-year horizon, conventional membranes are replaced almost every year. Esmil UF lasts 2 years, Esmil RO lasts 3 years.
