Business Case Analysis

MEI has identified the key parameters that come together in industrial steam companies that help make way for a sound business decision when looking at the costs and benefits of optimizing their steam system. This service can be scheduled for in-person meetings or via Internet using WebEx. It generally does not take longer than 30 minutes to gather enough key data to be able to calculate a ballpark estimate of the value of the project and a viable payback number.

MEI includes the net present value and cost of delay in the business case calculations. Because MEI’s product warranty is 15 years we use this for the analysis period.

MEI looks at the following potential benefit areas:

• Reliability
• Efficiency
• Cogeneration
• Productivity
• Quality
• Water Conservation
• Emissions
• Safety
• Reduction in Downtime
• Postponement of Large Equipment Repair
• Tax Credits
• Tax Depreciation
