Steam Cost Calculations 2020

This document compares the costs of generating steam using different fuel sources - fossil fuel (FO), coal, and biomass residue - in a fluidized bed combustion (FBC) boiler. It provides cost details like fuel consumption rates, prices, heat input requirements, efficiency rates, labor costs, maintenance costs, and investment costs to calculate the total annual cost and unit steam cost for each fuel option. The biomass residue provides the lowest unit steam cost of Rs. 0.740/kg and a potential yearly cost benefit of Rs. 480.49 lakhs compared to fossil fuel.
