Cost Equations
SSL (2004) Purchase Cost Equations for numerous
process units see Table 16.32 for other equipment
items.
Available literature sources back to 1960 consulted.
After determining a suitable equipment size factor,
all of the cost data were plotted.
When a wide spread in the data was evident, which
was not uncommon, an attempt was made to assess
the validity of the data by comparison with costs of
similar equipment.
When the validity could not be determined, the data
were averaged.
In some cases, cost data were obtained from vendors.
Bare module factors are not used. Extensive data are used
to estimate the costs of materials, labor, and construction
equipment
