2021 CEPCI updates: November (prelim.) and October (final)

The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for November 2021 (the most recent available) is once again higher than the previous month, continuing the upward trend that dominated 2021. The increase for November is driven by two of the subindices in particular — the Equipment and Buildings subindices — which both saw …

The Cost-to-Capacity Method and Scale Factors

First, the 2011 dollars must be converted to 2013 dollars. An applicable index related to costs associated with combined cycle power plants must be referenced. An appropriate index indicates a 2011 index value of 1.56 and a 2013 index value of 1.76. Thus, the 2011 historical cost must be escalated to 2013 dollars as shown below:

Construction-Cost Indices

Cost estimation is a critical dimension of project planning in asset-heavy industries such as the chemical process industries (CPI). Construction cost indices are useful tools in cost estimation and are used to compare plant construction costs from one time period to another. Understanding them can improve the accuracy of the cost …

Estimation of capital

For the early stages of the design process, it is often necessary to make quick capital cost estimates of total plant cost. The accuracy of these order of magnitude estimates are usually within ±50% accuracy. The quickest and most often employed order of magnitude process scales the cost of the new design based on the cost of similar …

Improving the Operability of Process Plants

Five levels can be defined for each process parameter: normal level, high level, high-high level, low level and low-low level. In essence, the operational parameters of a plant relate to the behavior of the plant between the low level and high level of each parameter of the individual equipment components, individual units or the entire plant.
