Define the purchase decision
The cheapest supplied kilogram is not necessarily the lowest-cost separation result. Bulk anionic polyelectrolyte purchasing should connect price, qualified use and the process constraint that determines useful production.
Keep the proposed product identity connected to the tested suspension and the intended separator.
Match commercial boundaries
Compare quantity, currency, package, destination, Incoterm, freight scope, price validity and payment terms. Keep destination charges explicit where applicable. A factory-gate offer cannot be ranked against a delivered offer as though transport and handling were identical.
Ask for actual grade-specific terms; do not infer stock or delivery timing from a generic product description.
Use the tested mass basis
Convert consumption to a consistent supplied-product or defined active basis and keep the conversion visible. Use a representative repeated operating band rather than an unconfirmed supplier dose promise. The dose record links solution delivery to the dry solids actually processed.
Include measured preparation losses and inventory reconciliation when they materially affect the comparison.
Value water and solids together
Retain overflow quality, throughput, underflow density and pumping or filtration constraints. Faster settling may have little value if recycle fines rise or the bed becomes difficult to handle. Use the paired-endpoint comparison before assigning a saving.
Keep assumptions around water makeup, transport and disposal visible, and avoid counting one improvement twice.
Check a misleading apparent improvement
If a cheaper grade increases underflow pumping difficulty, show that constraint in the award table even when its powder cost is lower. Verify the operational effect under stable loading and calculate only supported consequences. An estimated saving should remain labelled as an assumption until the corresponding plant result is measured.
Retain the comparison conditions and any unresolved acceptance requirement with the proposed purchase.
Set the release boundary
Present a qualified cost range and outstanding assumptions before award. Where only bench evidence exists, use a bounded trial order instead of projecting a single result across annual production.
| Purchase requirement | Required evidence | Release condition |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial | Same delivery and payment scope | Prices can be compared fairly |
| Consumption | Measured use on one mass basis | Cost follows actual treatment |
| Value | Clarity, throughput and handling | Savings respect process constraints |
