176 Part3: Summary <strong>of</strong> country studies – Bangladesh <strong>and</strong> Viet Nam<br />
Reciprocat<strong>in</strong>g eng<strong>in</strong>e<br />
The configuration <strong>of</strong> reciprocat<strong>in</strong>g eng<strong>in</strong>e with heat recovery boiler, us<strong>in</strong>g heavy fuel oil as<br />
fuel, appears to be best suited as it leads to very high IRR; moreover, the availability <strong>of</strong> fuel<br />
supply is not a problem at any <strong>of</strong> the sites. The IRR <strong>of</strong> the different projects varies <strong>in</strong> a wide<br />
range, from 20 per cent to 44 per cent (see Table 4.11).<br />

The attractiveness <strong>of</strong> this option also varies with <strong>in</strong>dustrial sub-sectors. In textile <strong>in</strong>dustry, IRR<br />
is around 26 per cent. In paper <strong>in</strong>dustry, IRR is high rang<strong>in</strong>g from 29 to 40 per cent. In the<br />
commercial sector, with diesel oil fuelled eng<strong>in</strong>e, IRR varies from 23 to 30 per cent; but with<br />
eng<strong>in</strong>es us<strong>in</strong>g heavy fuel oil, the IRR is much higher, vary<strong>in</strong>g from 30 to 45 per cent.<br />
4.3.9 Sensitivity Analysis<br />
Follow<strong>in</strong>g the techno-economic analysis <strong>of</strong> the different sites, sensitivity analysis is carried<br />
out to identify the impact <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the important parameters on the economics <strong>of</strong> the<br />
project. The hurdle rate for accept<strong>in</strong>g a project is assumed as 17 per cent.<br />
Increase <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>vestment cost<br />
Here, the <strong>in</strong>vestment is <strong>in</strong>creased (from zero to 15 per cent) to see at which po<strong>in</strong>t the IRR<br />
reaches the hurdle rate. The results are given <strong>in</strong> Table 4.12.<br />
With steam turb<strong>in</strong>e alternative, the coal fired boiler option always has IRRs higher than the<br />
hurdle rate. In many cases, the IRR <strong>of</strong> the fuel oil fired boiler option reaches the hurdle rate<br />
when the <strong>in</strong>vestment is <strong>in</strong>creased by 15 per cent.
