Operating assumptions
| Operating assumptions | Medium station | High-capacity station |
|---|---|---|
| Initial module (m³/h) | 180 | 400 |
| Gross installed cost (USD) | 180,000 | 360,000 |
| Mature annual volume (scm) | 550,000 | 1,200,000 |
| Starting selling price (USD/scm) | 0.85 | 0.85 |
| Starting gas/logistics cost (USD/scm) | 0.52 | 0.52 |
USD price/cost escalation: 3% annually. Station OPEX: 12% of revenue; corporate/technology: 4%; maintenance: 2%; marketing: 2.5%. Operating calendar: 16 hours/day, 330 days/year. These are model assumptions.
Financial deployment starts with 180 m³/h medium and 400 m³/h high-capacity modules, expandable toward 1,100 and 2,400 m³/h. The larger reference packages below are not the initial installed capacities used by the model. The 500 m³/h options are outside the modelled 105/45 mix.

Configurations
We use these configurations as design references. The 500 m³/h options sit outside our current financial station mix. We will confirm final specifications with suppliers before procurement.

System architecture
Gas inlet
Confirm available flow, minimum and maximum inlet pressure, gas composition, isolation and measurement requirements. The references list an inlet valve skid without a defined rating.

Capacity planner
Indicative daily volume
Theoretical volume = selected flow × hours × utilisation. This standalone tool does not recalculate the financial model. Sales ramp and capacity utilisation are different measures; preserve gas reference conditions.

Engineering assurance
We will confirm the applicable standards and Nigerian approval requirements with our project specialists and the responsible authorities. The references here do not represent a certification of our company or facilities.
System interfaces
Define capacity, demand profile, gas conditions, operating envelope and availability objectives. Evidence: agreed design basis, customer duties and supply assumptions.
Commissioning & acceptance
Agree acceptance criteria and verify readiness before service. Evidence: completed tests, closed critical defects, training, emergency drills and formal handover.
