Calculate capital, power, and operating costs for mine dewatering systems.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for mining engineers to estimate the financial requirements of dewatering operations. It calculates initial pump capital costs, electrical power consumption, annual operating expenditures, and long-term well lifecycle costs. By using calculate_pump_capital_cost, calculate_power_consumption, calculate_annual_operating_cost, and estimate_well_lifecycle_costs, users can model the impact of groundwater inflow and pump head on total project expenditure.

What is the capital cost for a pump with an inflow rate of 500 m3/h and a total head of 150 meters?

The total capital cost for the pump is $125,000, which includes $100,000 for the pump itself and $25,000 for installation.

Calculate the hourly power consumption for 500 m3/h inflow, 150m head, and 0.85 efficiency.

The hourly power consumption is 215.4 kW.

Estimate the annual operating cost for a system using 215.4 kW at $0.15/kWh, with a maintenance factor of 0.2 and 8760 operating hours per year.

The total annual operating cost is $31,536, consisting of $28,671 in energy costs and $2,865 in maintenance costs.

To use `calculate_pump_capital_cost`, you need to provide the inflow rate (volume of water per hour) and the total head (vertical lift plus friction losses in meters).
