Cost-effective pumping has been synonymous with ABS for many years. It means offering the optimal solution for every application, whether for a pump, mixer, agitator or aerator. Now ABS offers a LCC (Life Cycle Cost) calculator on the web.

With the long-term commitment to cost-effective pumping, ABS focuses on bringing a lower life cycle cost to pump users world-wide. Above all, the long-term perspective for cost-effective solutions is a commitment to partnership: to be a partner through the whole life cycle of the pump.

The Optimal Solution For Your Needs

ABS has probably the most comprehensive product programmes on the market for water and wastewater handling, process applications and building and construction. The wide range of pumps, mixers, agitators and aerators covers both submersible and dry installed equipment.

World-Wide Network

With the presence in more than 100 countries the world over, we are able to supply cost-effective solutions and services wherever you are.

The ABS Service Programme covers all aspects of operation and maintenance of pumps, mixers and aerators, from initial pumping station design to complete facility management - and everything in between.

The world-wide network of sales and service companies, representatives, agents and distributors demonstrates strong local focus in combination with global strength.

Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis of Pumping Systems

The Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of any piece of equipment is the total "Lifetime" cost to purchase, install, operate, maintain and dispose of that equipment.

The LCC process is a way to predict the most cost-effective solution; it does not guarantee a particular result, but allows the plant designer or manager to make a reasonable comparison between alternative solutions within the limits of the available data.

Calculate Life Cycle Cost for Your Own Pump Installation

The calculation assumes that the Investment, Installation and Commissioning costs are taken during the first base year (0). The pump system starts running and Energy and Other* yearly costs are included. For the last year, decommissioning and disposal costs are included. When calculating LCC, all costs are discounted back to the base year. The calculation assumes that the difference between Interest and Inflation rate is 3 %.

For other values a more detailed calculation can be made in the Download LCC calculation software that is also available on the site.
