This is DIY nitrogen; you place your machine in your shop, hook it up to water and electricity, put your outflowing pipe with Firewater flowing into your bulk tank, and turn it on.
How the economics work:
The machine costs $50,000 USD + shipping and handling ($500-$2,000 in the USA depending on your location).
Electricity costs at $.12 USD per kWh using 500 watts of electricity = $600 per year.
Maintenance costs
-Filters and replacement parts average $500 per year.
Your approximate cost over a 7-year period
-Machine delivered $52,500.
-Electricity costs $5,000 +/-
-Maintenance + Parts = $5,000 ±/-
The ballpark average is $62,500 cost to buy, run, and operate for 7 years.
Your firewater machine is set to make 36,500 gallons per year.
In 7 years you will make:
255,500 +/- gallons
7-year cost = $62,500.
Your cost per gallon of Firewater = $.24 per gallon cost.
Over a seven-year period (should last double to triple that.)
*Doesn’t include bulk tanks, shop space, farm, your time, your water cost from your well, etc.
*In countries outside the USA, shipping, tariffs, and dealer distributor costs will vary.
Cost savings on nitrogen:
Your cost per gallon of Firewater is $.24 per gallon.
Use 1 gallon of Firewater at the same value as 1 gallon of UAN 28.
UAN 28 average farm-delivered price: $2.60
Cost savings per gallon-
$2.36 per gallon x 1 year of production at 36,500 gallons
= $86,140 a year in savings
Over 7 years
ROI: $602,980 savings
