For a smaller plant of 30 thousand cubic meters a year, the situation is much

worse as the IRR is 2% and NPV is negative at $16.037 million. To break even,

used oil cost has to fall to $7.95 a barrel which makes the case for subsidy even

more apparent.

In this report, the model in its original format, with the exception of the small

modifications mentioned earlier, has been used in this analysis. However future

users may improve the model by segregating and reporting expenditures prior to

the start of production instea

d of including all these as “capital” in year 1. This is

likely to give better and more encouraging economic results. At the same time

the analysis may be extended to 15 or 20 years and this also will give better

economic returns.

Notes for Economic Consideration:
