A thorough presentation of fundamentals of an economic analysis for process design can be found in the classical book of Peters and Timmerhaus (1991). In addition this book contains detailed information about the cost of chemical equipment. A concise but useful treatment can be found in Coulson Richardson volume 6 (1993). The part on economics in Douglas (1987) is particularly well written from the viewpoint of a designer. The chapter written by Holland Wilkinson for Perry s Handbook 7 edition (1997) contains an extended description of the modem concepts of profitability, a comprehensive estimation of manufacturing and fixed-capital costs, as well as an introduction in the accounting and cost control concepts. The economic evaluation of projects from the perspective of the Institution of Chemical Engineers-UK may be found in Allen (1991).

A chemical reactor is a vessel manufactured from metal, often stainless steel or high resistant alloys. A minimum wall thickness is required to resist to different toads, and mainly to internal pressure. Accurate mechanical calculation of process equipment is a matter of mechanical engineering, and out of the scope of this book. Here we present only simple relations that permit the evaluation of weight and cost of vessels in a preliminary economic analysis. More information about mechanical design can be found in Coulson Richardson (1993).
