PROCESS EQUIPMENT DATABASE

The cost of process plant equipment is the basis for most methods of estimating the cost of fixed capital. The required equipment can generally be divided into processing equipment, handling equipment, and other equipment associated with plant services.
The most accurate method of determining process equipment costs is to obtain firm bids from manufacturers or suppliers. Manufacturers can often provide quick estimates that will be very close to the sale price but won't take too long. Second best in reliability are the cost values ​​from the file of previous purchase orders. When used to price new equipment, purchase order prices must be corrected to the current cost rate.
In case of not having information from the previous recommendations, CAF-CAPEX provides information from the previously recommended after being analyzed, standardized and optimized for use as cost estimates.

FOR A1000 – AGITATORS – MIXERS – BLENDERS


COST ESTIMATION DATA


Industrial agitators are machines used in industries that process products in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in a view of : mixing liquids together, promote the reactions of chemical substances, keeping homogeneous liquid bulk during storage, increase heat transfer (heating or cooling). This cost & Mhs databook edition of this estimating manual gives contractors, engineers and managers a quick and inexpensive methods for estimating realistic design and construction costs of chemical/petrochemical plants, refineries and similar industrial facilities, is suitable for determining plant feasibility in the early planning/evaluating stages; also could be used to produces an estimate of total plant costs with +/- 10 %. You can find 5 families of this group of Process plant equipment, covering 40 items in which you can see up today estimated prices and Mhs, presented both in curves and tables, using Caf-Corporation benchmarking method based in 3 or more sources and a very useful way to keep updated and reliable.

FOR B1000 – COMPRESSORS -DAMPENERS-FANS-BLOWERS


COST ESTIMATION DATA


Compressors are mechanical devices used to increase the pressure of air, gas or vapor and in the process move it from one location to another. The inlet or suction pressure can range from low subatmospheric pressure levels to any pressure level compatible with piping and vessel strength limits. The ratio of absolute discharge pressure to absolute suction pressure is the compressor pressure ratio. Stage compression is limited to the mechanical capabilities of the compressor and, generally, approaches a CR of 4. To achieve high pressures multiple stages must be employed. Compression theory is primarily defined by the Ideal Gas Laws and the First & Second Laws of Thermodynamics. This Database was designed to perform Compression Equipment Cost Estimates, based on generic cost curves for several Activity families types generated using benchmarking techniques. The benchmarked curves give Work Performance  as a function of a capacity variable or combination of variables. The cost curves and other information contained in this application can be used to develop the overall construction capital cost.
