Financing
This is not a cheap system. For those who make investment decisions on price alone, be open to changing your mind. Or, don’t waste your time: this opportunity is not for you.
To reap the full benefits of this system, be prepared to do lots of groundwork. Be sure to question every piece of information provided and check it against alternative sources. Ask a lot of questions.
You must do financial analyses, based on
- worst-case scenarios
- best-case scenarios
- three-year-average scenarios.
- intensive what- if analyses.
Use your local resources to the fullest. Your money is precious, and a lot will be staked into an investment such as ours.
We are not a finance house. We cannot finance buyers.
We can point you to Export Development Corporation (EDC), a Canadian Government financier, which may finance investments provided they are
of a certain minimum size, and
the prospective client meets specific criteria.
There are also other sources of finance, both from Canada and local institutions. We will facilitate by providing details of potential sources, and where possible, provide letters of introduction or referral.
We know that finance is perceived as an insurmountable barrier. It is a formidable obstacle, but it is not insurmountable. ANY financier, whether private, institutional or government, will look for a sound business plan, with supporting projections and analyses to support that plan. Most prospective entrepreneurs give up at this phase. We can only say that it is possible, with careful and thorough planning and implementation.
We will work with you to do everything reasonable within our power to help you set up your financing.
In addition to the capital cost of purchasing our system, you must have:
- land and a place to safely operate the system
- working capital to purchase raw materials
- a supply of water
As in any other business, there are also other costs and overheads. Ensure you make a realistic budget.
You will also need to do a revenue analysis, based on what you think the oil and the meal will sell for in your region.
In addition, if you want to produce and sell hot water and/ or drinking water, these selling prices will also need to be considered, along with the cost of obtaining raw water, and then treating and storing it. (we can help you with the treatment and storage, to some degree).
The minimum cost of one complete system will depend on whether it is purchased through a dealer or individually. An order of 10 or more systems will attract a discount. This will allow economies of scale to be applied, especially to training costs, which is an important part of the system offering. The final cost is also dependent on additional options for hot water, and boiled water, and the capacity requested, together with additional components.

Depending on the final configuration of system request, expect costs of between US$150,000 and $850,000 F.O.B main Canadian port. Remember, the capital cost is only one part of the total picture. Do a complete analysis in your own market conditions to evaluate gross profits, net profits, return on investment and payback period.
Our analyses show that (dependent upon conditions) the system can be paid off within 5 to 7 years, and provide high profits year after year, even after paying overheads and capital amortization. No general figures apply in all conditions. We can, however, provide a template which you can use to evaluate your own scenario, or at least get you started on the analysis.
If you are intimidated by the initial price, remember, it is the returns that count. The earnings generated, and the quality-of-life improvements in your community will easily justify the investment.
Remember, there is little hype in what we are saying. Our system works, we stand by it. Success depends on prospective customers doing a complete and thorough evaluation before deciding on next steps. |
