For all other types of equipment, the user must provide installation costs. For solids handling equipment, the user must provide costs. SRI plans to add major equipment items of this type over the coming year. For these types of equipment, the user has the option of either supplying the cost or letting the program compute it. Estimating the wall thickness of vessels, columns, and horizontal pressure tanks to withstand internal or external pressure is part of the procedure of estimating the f.o.
Capital investment is the sum of installed costs and a user specified allowance for contingencies.
The program divides the investment into two parts, battery limits and off-sites. Everything else falls into the battery limits category. Production costs are computed on the basis of the estimated investment and the given production cost data. If the plant investment is known, the program can also be used just to produce the production costs table. All rights reserved .
