21 COSTS OF INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT The choice of appropriate equipment often is influenced by consid zations of price. A lower eifcieney ora shorter life may be com pensated for by a lower price. Funds may be low at the time of purchase and expected to be more abundant late, or the economic life of the process is expected to be limited. Alternate kinds of equipment forthe same service may need to be considered: water cooled exchangers vs. air coolers, conerete cooling towers vs. re ‘wood, ilters vs. centrifuges, pneumatic conveyors ¥s. Screw oF bbucket elevators and soon, Inthis chapter, the prices of classes of the most frequently used ‘equipment are collected in the form of correlating equations. The prices are given in terms of appropriate key characteristic of the ‘equipment, such as sqft, gpm, lbvhr, et. Factors for materials of construction and performance characteristics ther than the basic fones also are provided. Although graphs are easily ead and can TABLE 21.1. Index of Equipment bring out clearly desirable comparisons between related types of equipment, algebraic representation has been adopted here. Equa tions are capable of consistent reading, particularly in comparison ‘with interpolation on logarithmic scales, and are amenable 10 incorporation in computer programs. Unless otherwise indicated, the unit prices $1000, SK. Except ‘where indicated, notably for fired heaters, refigeration systems, and cooling towers (which are installed prices), the prices are pur chase prices, FOB, with delivery charges extra In the United States {delivery charges are ofthe order of $a the purchase price, but, of course, dependent on the unit value, as cost per Ib or per cut Multipliers have been developed whereby the installed cost of various kinds of equipment may be found.

All algorithms hhave been updated to the fist quarter of 2003 and the cost data were checked with equipment manuficturers’ data. Any fost index may be used but the Chemical Engineering Index found in the magazine Chemical Engineering is satisfactory for costing equipment Material of construction is a major factor in the price of equipment so that multipliers for prices relative to carbon stel on other standard materials are given for many of the items covered hhee. Usually only the parts in contact with process substances need bbe of special construction, so that, in general, the multipliers are not TABLE 21.2. Purchase Prices of Process Equipment Costs 1st Q: slivays as great as they are for vessels that are made entirely om special materials. Thus, when the tube side of an exchanger is speci and the shell is carbon steel, the multiple wil vary with the amount of tube surface, as shown in that section. For multi- pliers see information under each type equipment in Table 21.2 ‘As with mos collections of data, the price data correlated here exhibit « certain amount of scater.
