WELCOME to Cost & Evaluation Workbook accompanying Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers, 5th edition,

by Peters, Timmerhaus and West. These spreadsheets are made available for convenient implementation of methods presented in the text. The sheets are color coded to assist the user. A hypothetical example, 'Illustration 101', is included. The basis for all costs is Jan. 2002. Steps to follow: 1. Please download the workbook to your computer. 2. The sheets are intended for use in the sequence presented. However, any sheet may be by-passed so long as the information skipped is input manually where needed in subsequent sheets. Default values may be replaced by the user. 3. Purchased Equipment Costs may be obtained from the file "Equipment Costs," the graphs in the text, or otherwise, and entered manually into cell H12 on the Capital Inv.' spreadsheet. 4. On the sheet 'Capital Inv.' enter the estimated current total purchased cost of the process equipment. For the proposed plant type, copy the corresponding "Fraction of delivered equipment" column entries into the tan "User" column. The sheet then calculates and transfers results to appropriate subsequent sheets. 5. On the sheet 'Materials & Labor' enter the product prices and flowrates, the raw materials prices and flow rates, and the labor requirements and current ENR labor index. 6. On the sheet 'Utilities' the quantity of each utility needed annually must be entered in appropriate units. The total annual utilities cost is transferred to sheet 'Annual TPC'. 7. The 'Depreciation' sheet is used only if the user wishes to change the default (5-year MACRS) depreciation method. To make a change, copy the appropriate MACRS row to the 'Annual depreciation" row of sheets 'Evaluation' and 'Year-0 $', or, enter constant annual (straight line) value into depreciation row of those sheets. 8. On the 'Annual TPC' sheet, all values are calculated from information available on other sheets. The user may change defaults or enter preferred values. The calculated annual TPC is transferred to 'Evaluation'. 9. The sheet 'Evaluation' uses values from other sheets to calculate the common profitability measures. The user may change defaults, or enter desired values into the sheet. In particular, the user may change the default inflation rates in order to study their effects on profitability. All calculations in 'Evaluation' are made in current (i.e. inflated) dollars. Inflation adjustments are made from the time of the estimates. To make evaluations for periods of less than 10 years, leave unneeded columns blank. For periods greater than 10 years, insert columns as needed and copy from an existing year column into the new columns. Check equations for correct cell references. 10. A second evaluation sheet, 'Year-0 $', also is included. It is the same as sheet 'Evaluation', except that all the inflated $ values are converted to constant, year-0 dollars (as discussed in the text). This method is considered to reflect more realistically the effect of inflation on the profitability measures. The user may change

the default inflation rates in order to study their impacts on profitability.

ESTIMATION OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT BY PERCENTAGE OF DELIVERED EQUIPMENT METHOD

plants. These values may differ depending on many factors such as location, process type, etc. Required user input Subtotal Result Default

Total capital investment (TCI) 57.402 The investments are made over a period of time. This is represented on the basis that startup (time 0) will be three years after the date of the estimate, that 15% of the fixed capital investment is spent in the year beginning at the time of the estimate (year ending at time -2), 35% in the second year (ending at -1), and 50% in the third year (ending at time 0). These values may be changed. The amounts are inflated at the beginning of each year after the estimate, by the default construction inflation rate. These changes are all made in the sheets 'Evaluation' and 'Year-0 $'. It is assumed that all working capital is spent at time 0.

COMMENTS & NOTES Time -3 is default time of estimate, time -2 is the first inflation. Land can be included, default is 0. Time 0 is startup time. Working capital (-) at time 0, (+) when recovered. Salvage value is (+) at time of recovery. Planned investments (e.g. replacements) entered here at inflated value. Startup default is 10% of FCI. Two year ramp-up of production. Operating rate affects only variable part of TPC. Depreciation default is 5-year MACRS. Start costs subtracted here. No income tax credit taken for losses. =Annual operating cash flow + Annual investment ROI, PBP and Net return do NOT include recovery amounts, by text definition. Compare with ROI = 15.0 %/y Compare with reference PBP = 3.6 y. Compare with net return = 0.

NPW and DCFR include recovery amounts, by text definition. Uses single-year present worth factor from Table 7-3. If there is more than one sign change in the annual cash flow, check DCFR value separately. Compare with net present worth = 0. "No value" results from a negative total cash flow in R27. Compare with R5.

NPW and DCFR include recovery amounts, by text definition. Uses 1-year present worth factor from Table 7-5. If there is more than one sign change in the annual cash flow, check DCFR value separately. Compare with net present worth =0. "No value" results from a negative cash flow in R26. Compare with R6

COMMENTS & NOTES Time -3 is default time of estimate, time -2 is the first inflation. Land can be included by replacing the default 0. Land is (-) at time 0, (+) when recovered Time 0 is startup time. Working capital (-) at time 0, (+) when recovered. Salvage value is (+) at time of recovery. Planned investments (e.g. replacements) entered here at inflated value. Startup default is 10% of FCI. Two year ramp-up of production. Operating rate affects only variable part of TPC. Depreciation default is 5-year MACRS.

No income tax credit taken for losses. =Annual investment + Annual operating cash flow ROI, PBP and Net return do NOT include recovery amounts, by text definition. Compare with ROI = 15.0 %/y Compare with reference PBP = 3.6 y. Compare with net return = 0.

NPW and DCFR include recovery amounts, by text definition. Uses single-year present worth factor from Table 7-3. If there is more than one sign change in the annual cash flow, check DCFR value separately. Compare with net present worth = 0. "No value" results from a negative total cash flow in R27. Compare with R5.

NPW and DCFR include recovery amounts, by text definition. Uses 1-year present worth factor from Table 7-5. If there is more than one sign change in the annual cash flow, check DCFR value separately. Compare with net present worth =0. "No value" results from a negative cash flow in R26. Compare with R6
