Table 9-42 presents information on some cost indices for the United States. Engineering News-Record updates its construction-cost index in March, June, September, and December. The Oil and Gas Journal gives the Nelson-Farrar refinery indices in the first issue of each quarter. The Chemical Engineering plant-cost index and Marshall and Swift equipment-cost index are given in each issue of the pubhcation Chemical Engineering. Derivation of the base values is referred to in the respective publications. [Pg.861]

The cost of a unit is then obtained from Figure 9-4. To obtain the cost of the plant this figure needs to be multiplied by the number of units, a factor (1.33) to account for utilities and general facilities, and the current or projected value of the Engineering News Record Chemical Cost Index. The accuracy of this method is unknown but should be better than the Lang factor and not as good as Miller s. [Pg.259]

Table 9E-9 lists unit operations in the polystyrene plant. The highest temperature is 400°F, in the extruder. From this and Figure 9-5, a temperature factor of 0.04 is obtained. There are no high pressures except in the extruder, and its value is unknown. The pressure factor will be assumed to be zero. Stainless steel is used, so the material factor is 0.2. From Equation 2 a complexity factor of 3.48 can be calculated. A direct process investment cost of 350,000 per functional unit is obtained from Figure 9-7. This means that the cost of constructing the plant when the Engineering News Record Construction Index (ENRCI) is 300 would be 3,150,000. This will be updated to 1960 when the ENRCI was 350, and then the CEPI will be used to obtain the cost in 1974. The resultant cost in 1974 is... [Pg.274]

Figure 19.10. Vacuator of the constant-level type. The cylindrical tank with a dome-shaped cover is under a constant vacuum of about 9 in. of mercury. Sewage enters a central draft tube from which it is distributed by means of a flared-top section. Floating solids, buoyed up by fine air bubbles, are skimmed from the liquid surface and carried to a trough. Settled solids are removed from the bottom with a scraper mechanism.

Many different types of cost indexes are published regularly. Some of these can be used for estimating equipment costs others apply specifically to labor, construction, materials, or other specialized fields. The most common of these indexes are the Marshall and Swift all-industry and process-industry equipment indexes, the Engineering News-Record construction index, the Nelsotl-Fatrar refinery construction index, and the Chemical Engineering plant cost index. Table 3 presents a list of values for various types of indexes over the past 15 years. [Pg.164]

The Engineering Netvs-Record construction cost index appears weekly in the Engineering News-Record. For a complete description of this index and the revised basis, see Eng. News-Record, 143(9) 398 (1949) 178(10 87 (1967). History is in March issue each year, for example, see Eng. News-Record, 22000 54 (March 15, 1988). [Pg.164]

For use with process-equipment estimates and chemical-plant investment estimates, the Marshall and Swift equipment cost indexes and the Chemical Engineering plant cost indexes are recommended. These two cost indexes give very similar results, while the Engineering News-Record construction cost index, relative with time, has increased much more rapidly than the other two because it does not include a productivity improvement factor. Similarly, the Nelson-Farrar refinery construction index has shown a very large increase with time and should be used with caution and only for refinery construction. [Pg.166]

The journal Engineering News Record publishes a monthly construction cost index. This is based on civil engineering projects and is sometimes used for updating offsite costs. This index has been published since 1904 and is the oldest of all the indices. [Pg.325]
