Before the plant to be operated, specied money must be supplied to purchase and install the
equipment. The capital needed to supply the necessary plant facilities is called xed capital investment
while that for the operation of the plant is called the working principal and sum of two capitals is called total
capital investment.
An acceptable plant design must present a process that is capable of operating under conditions which will
yield a prot. Since, Net prot =total income all expenses
It is essential that chemical engineer be aware of the many dierent types of cost involved in manufacturing
processes. Capital must be allocated for direct plant expenses; such as those for raw materials, labor, and
equipment. Besides direct expenses, many other indirect expenses are incurred, and these must be
included if a complete analysis of the total cost is to be obtained. Some examples of these indirect
expenses are administrative salaries, product distribution costs and cost for interplant communication.
ESTIMATION OF EQUIPMENT COST
Cost index used for 1999 = 109
Cost index used for 2009 = 121
11.1. CSTR-1:
Purchased equipment cost = Ce = CSn
Cost constant = C = $ 31000
Area of column = S = 5m3
Index = n = 0.40

Ce = CSn
Ce = CS0.40
= 31000 (5)0.40
Ce = $ 59013.27
Ce (2009) = 59013.27 x (121/109) = $ 10005
11.2. Distillation column D-1:
Number of plates = 5
Reux ratio = 2
Bare vessel cost = $ 9000
Diameter of column = 0.6 m
Height of column =10 m
Material: Carbon steel
Material factor = 1.0
Pressure factor = 1.4 at 26.67 bar
Vessel cost = 9000 x 1.4 x 1.0 = $ 12600
Cost in 2009 = 12600 x (121/109) = $ 13987
Sieve plate: one plate cost = $ 310
Material factor = 1.0
Total cost of one plates = $ 1550
Total cost of ve plates (2009) = $1550 x (121/109) = $ 1720
Total column cost = 12600 + 1550 = $ 14150
Total column cost (2009) = 14150 x (121/109) = $ 15707

Area = A = 2.8737 m2
Pressure factor = 1.1
Type factor = 0.8
Bare cost = $ 1050
Cost of equipment = 1050 x 1.1 x 0.8 = $ 924
Cost of equipment (2009) = 1050 x (121/109) = $ 1026
Reboiler:
Required area = A = 0.774 m2
Pressure factor = 1.1
Type factor = 0.85
Bare cost = $ 428.57
Cost of equipment = 428 x 1.1 x 0.85 = $ 400.7
Cost of equipment (2009) = 400.7 x (121/109) = $ 444
11.3. Distillation column D-2:
Number of plates = 6
Reux ratio = 2
Diameter of column = 0.67 m
Height of column = 7 m
Bare vessel cost = $ 9000
Material: Carbon steel
Material factor =1.0
Pressure factor = 1.4 at 26.67 bar
Vessel cost = 9000 x 1.4 x 1.0 = $ 12600

11.6 PUMPS P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4:
Number of pumps = 4
Type: horizontal one stage
Diameter of discharge pipe = 3 in.
Material of construction: stainless steel
Seal type: mechanical seal
Cost (2008) = $ 4700
Cost (2009) = $ 4700 x (121/119) = $ 4780
