Standard Chemical Maintenance cost estimate

Figure 22. Standard facility for maintenance, preservation and packaging, surveillance and assembly of chemical munitions. Cost estimate.

The total estimated cost for tailored standard chemical maintenance facilities constructed at each installation is 193,700,000 with one explosive wing at Anniston or 204,700,000 for two explosive wings at Anniston. 

Based on the described process design, an economic feasibility study has been performed [48]. The total processing costs are calculated from the costs of the process equipment, the chemicals, and the utilities required. In addition, the start-up costs (5% of total fixed capital), maintenance (5% of inside battery limits, a standard term denoting the part of the plant considered), plant overheads (80% of labor costs and 20% maintenance), and capital charges (10 year depreciation) are included in the calculations. As the infrastructure is aheady present at the current polymerization plant, no additional costs are assumed to be incurred outside battery limits. The operators on duty are assumed to handle the extraction process therefore no additional labor costs are made. The purchased costs of the process equipment shown in Table 14.9 were determined using the cost estimation program Chemical Process Equipment Individual Equipment Costing [55].
