A preliminary (Class 4) estimate of the ISBL capital cost of building a 200,000 ton per year ethanol plant by corn dry milling has been stated as 130 MM —30%/+50%. The plant is to be built on a green-field site, and offsite costs are estimated to be between 40 MM and 60 MM. Estimate a value for the total project cost that will give 98% confidence that the project can be carried out within the amount estimated. 

Estimate the capital required for this project and the cash cost of production. The plant will be built on an existing site with adequate infrastructure to provide the ancillary requirements of the new plant (no offsite investment is needed). 

For a supercritical plant installed at an existing facility, these services may edready be available. For a new or grassroots" plant, additional capital investment, perheps 25% to 75% of battery limits capital, will be needed for offsites. 

Table VIII summarizes the investment and operating requirements for the H-Oil unit and its attendant facilities, and Table IX compares investment and operating costs for the naphtha and crude oil based facilities. Data on the ethylene plant investment and operating costs were taken from the paper by Freiling, Huson, and Tucker (I). Offsite investments have been taken at 30% of process investment for the naphtha case, as well as for the ethylene plant portion of the crude oil case. For the H-Oil unit and its associated units offsites have been estimated at one-half of this rate—15%. This lower value has been used since the H-Oil system will add little to the storage requirements, and all utilities have been priced to cover the capital requirements for their production.

The estimated capital cost for a propylene oxide plant to produce 540 million pounds per year of propylene oxide by the isobutane peroxidation process is given in Table 6. This estimate includes the equipment and offsites to coproduce isobutylene from TBA for feed to an MTBE plant. 

The plant has two primary sources for wastewater, the decanter (0.20 kg water/s) and the pot (0.15 kg/s). The plant has been shipiHDg the wastewater for off-site treatment. The cost of wastewater transportation and treatment is 0.01 kg leading to a wastewater treatment cost of proximately SltO.OOO/yr. The plant wishes to stop offsite treatment of wastewater to avoid the cost ( 110,000/yr) and alleviate legal-liability concerns in case of transportation accidents or inadequate treatment of the wastewater. The objective of this problem is to eliminate or reduce to the extent feeble off-site wastewater treatment. For capital budget authorizatitHi, the plant has the following economic criterion (see Appendix DI) ...
