Subject: 
costs for new heat recovery plant

Hi. Quick question. Im using EU 1998 cost estimates for a new heat recovery coke plant (updated to 2020 and US tons) and trying to figure out if the costs for the power plant/energy facility include the HRSG or not (and then the HRSG is included with the coke ovens). See if you can figure it out. I'd appreciate any help you could provide. (see attached spreadsheet for calculations)

EU* estimated costs for a new greenfield heat recovery plant producing 1.2 million tonnes coke per year was USD 365 million in 1998 including the coke oven facilities, coal handling/blending and the power plant. For the energy facility, investment costs of only USD 140 million are reported for 1998. 

$       549,613,082 
2020 US$
coke ovens, coal handling/blending and the power plant in 2020

$       210,810,497 
2020 US$

$                      252 
per ton coke/yr
2020 US$ and tons (includes HRSG?)

EU estimate is based on a facility producing 1,344,000 US tons/yr
