The selection of an optimum pipe size is also involved. The cost of piping increases with increased line sizes, but pressure drop and utility costs decrease. Here is how the yearly utility cost per unit pressure drop can be calculated. This cost multiplied by amortization time (number of years) gives the total cost of compression for the calculated period and process conditions. 

The risk as a function of time can be quantified by means of the amortization time (payback time) This indicates the time which will be necessary for the cost of the capital employed to be recovered. As an initial estimate, is the ratio of the investment costs I to the annual surplus income (E-A) and the depreciation ... 

A comparative cost study between hand lay-up, SMC, and smart RTM for production of class A Euroclass 380 bus body panels, showed a specific mono-skin structure body panel weighing 5 kg showed material costs were similar for hand lay-up and RTM and about 30% lower than SMC. Although a single hand lay-up tool was 85% lower than an RTM tool, this was offset by the need for many more tools to match a life cycle of nearly 3000 parts, and RTM tooling costs were 50% lower than for SMC. Labor time per cycle was three minutes both for RTM and SMC, compared with 60 minutes for hand lay-up. The investment amortization time was fixed at seven years. 

The base case of the aqueous Kolbe-Schmitt synthesis of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic add is calculated with a five-tube reactor allowing a theoretical production rate of 4.41 p.a. (assuming 8000 h p.a.). The product-related fixed cost of about 1 per kilogram of product, derived from the investment cost by dividing by the amortization time of 7 years, are very small compared with the operational costs of 91 kg . The main and approximatdy equal portions of the operational costs are the raw material cost and operator salary when a quarter of the hourly wage rate of manpower is assumed (Figure 13.7). 

By the simplicity of design possible with a burner MSR of a replaceable nature, costs of the primary unit are kept low and the reduced amortization time is of minor concern. Even in more complex previous MSR designs, the primary systems of reactor, pumps, and heat exchangers was typically only 10% of plant costs, which thus bodes well in this respect. 

The at speed balance (high speed balance) facility was originally used in Europe and is a rather sophisticated and costly installation. Time on the machine is expensive, partly due to the owner having a large investment to amortize and partly because the machine requires more than just an operator. 

Since power is a substantial component of the fixed operating cost of a unit, the operating cost would run approximately seven times more on a scrubber installation. The installation costs of a hot-rolled steel precipitator to handle 100,000 cfm would be between 3.50 and 4.50/cfm as opposed to 1.40 to 1.80/cfm for a venturi scrubbing system. Although the initial capital expenditure is high for the precipitator, if the total operating and capital costs are amortized over an acceptable period of time, 8 to 10 years, the precipitator will prove to be the. lore economically feasible choice because of its low operating and maintenance costs.

Although the energy cost is continuous and the capital costs are one time, it is common to spread out (or amortize) the capital cost over a period of Y years i.e., over the economic lifetime of the pipeline. The reciprocal of this (X = 1/ Y) is the fraction of the total capital cost written off per year. Taking 1 year as the time basis, we can combine the capital cost per year and the energy cost per year to get the total cost (there are other costs, such as maintenance, but these are minor and do not materially influence the result). 

That was not the last time he saw Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the third important buna factory. It had been carefully financed. So had the first two buna plants, which were buiit by 1936. At Crans-berg Prison, Schmitz had pointed out "I was concerned about the financing, and therefore we (I and Dr. ter Meer) insisted on getting favorable amortization rates and on making sure that the new investments did not bring us to financial ruin. In regard to the buna plant at Huels, capital of roughly one hundred million had to be provided, of which Farben took 74 per cent and the State 26 per cent." In the second buna plant the Reich also had a financial interest. 

Amortization Often used interchangeably with depreciation, but there is a slight difference depending on whether the life of an asset is known. If the period of time is known to be usually more than a year, this annual expense is amortization however, if the hfe is estimated, then it is depreciation. 

Minnesota, as well as at a large-scale [30 gal/min (57 liters/min)] system. Capital equipment is either a one-time or monthly charge, depending on whether a leased, mobile unit or an amortized, skid-mounted unit is used (see Table 1). The cost of site-specific pre- or posttreatment such as oil/water separators, filters, etc. must also be considered (D12769P, pp. 231-232). 

In a 1995 treatability study conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Savannah River facility, a cost estimate was prepared for an FTO system with a flow rate of 400 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) using natural gas to maintain process temperatures. Costs were estimated at 0.72/lb. For the purposes of this estimate, the inlet concentration was assumed to be 400 ppm of trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA). Capital costs were estimated at 160,000. Capital costs were amortized over 10 years, not over the time required to remediate the site. This cost estimate found FTO to be more cost effective than thermal catalytic technologies due to lower operating and maintenance costs (D125122, p. 10). 

P denotes the economic value of the in- and outgoing exergy streams K denotes the capital investment, appropriately amortized over time... 

The cost per wafer will depend on many factors. First, the reactor can be quite expensive, so it is a capital item and must be amortized. Also, if the reactor has to be cleaned very frequently or is unreliable and experiences a lot of down time, then this will also add to the capital cost. If the reactants are expensive and not utilized efficiently, then this is another expense item. Energy requirements can be high for heating either the chamber or the susceptor. So, a system with high wafer throughput leads in the direction of lower cost per wafer, provided film quality is acceptable. 

There has been considerable demand for a wider choice of service lives for properties, and the widespread revision and reinterpretation of the national income-tax laws in 1954, 1962, 1971, 1981, and 1986 met part of this demand. During times of national emergencies, the United States Congress may approve rapid-amortization policies to make it more attractive for concerns to invest in additional plants and equipment needed for the national welfare. Certificates of necessity can be obtained for certain types of industries, and these certificates permit writing off various percentages of the value of new equipment over selected periods of time. 

After EA evaporation, a novolak formulation with 50% phenol and 50% of the P/N fraction was successfully prepared. Gel times for the P/N fractions suitably prepared are intermediate between resorcinol and traditional phenol-formaldehyde resins. Preliminary projected amortized production costs for the P/N fraction are 10(16) cents per pound for a 1,000(250) tons per day plant ( 10/dry ton feedstock,...
