Industry reference: contaminated water raises legacy O&M by ~40% (1.4\u00D7). Edit if known.
Forever chemicals in feed water
Toggle ON if PFAS / PFOS is regulated in your jurisdiction or relevant to your application (US municipal post-NPDWR, data centers, industrial sites, military). HydroGenesis destroys 30% inline; remaining residual handled via downstream GAC.
Off — no PFAS treatment burden in this comparison
$
$0.069/1,000 L GAC realistic-median (Boodoo et al. 2022, AWWA UCMR-5 corroborated). HydroGenesis destroys 30% inline; remaining 70% handled by residual GAC.
Treated water goes into pipe network
Municipal code requires a disinfectant residual in pipes. Legacy plants run heavy dosing & safety overhead. With HydroGenesis ultra-pure output, the pipe needs ~10% of legacy dosing for the same residual.

HydroGenesis process uses zero chemicals. Pipe residual is municipal code, not our equipment.
No chemical delivery logistics or hazmat trucking schedules
No bulk chemical storage or secondary containment to maintain
Simpler operator training; no hazmat certification for handling at source
Reduced compliance and insurance overhead from dangerous goods handling
Figures are estimates for comparison only and do not constitute a quotation. HydroGenesis operating cost reflects the purification process at scale, flat across clean and contaminated freshwater feeds. Brackish desalination is wired with HydroGenesis-engineering-confirmed energy and maintenance figures; ocean/seawater desalination is held pending finalized engineering data and shows a pending state when selected. Legacy benchmarks are scale-banded: small (under 5,000 m\u00B3/day), mid-municipal (5,000–50,000 m\u00B3/day), and large/utility (50,000+ m\u00B3/day). Freshwater bands draw from Statistics Canada EnviroStats 16-002-X (2007 survey, O&M-only, distribution excluded). Brackish bands draw from TWDB Report 12-06 (2012, El Paso KBH at large scale) and Pearson et al. 2021 (modern peer-reviewed BWRO OPEX). All band values are conservative-low across documented ranges. Filter and service-contract figures are deliberately conservative annual approximations. Chemical product, contamination multipliers, and handling figures are EPA/AWWA references with conservative-low defaults; all are editable. PFAS treatment is a user-toggled line item; when enabled, the legacy benchmark uses Boodoo et al. 2022 NEWMOA GAC realistic-median ($0.069/m\u00B3) corroborated by AWWA UCMR-5 2024, and the HydroGenesis line shows residual handling cost for the 70% not destroyed inline (30% verified destruction rate; 70% engineering target not yet validated). Legacy chemical and energy line items shown on the legacy side (in freshwater modes) are derived from the regional total using published industry shares and are marked est. Fleet centralized handling has no published benchmark and is omitted unless the user provides a figure. This tool covers operating cost only; equipment and deployment are quoted separately.
