Haven't you consulted with your instructors/professors and found out the truth that NO CAPITAL COST ESTIMATE OBTAINED THROUGH THIS SPREADSHEET AND OTHER SIMILAR METHODS IS WORTH THE PAPER IT IS PRINTED ON? All you guys seem to believe that there is a magical aura about a supposed Equipment estimate spreadsheet that we professionals would never even look at - much less use in our daily work projects. We sit here watching all you guys/gals waste your youth, your energies, and the precious time allotted to you to do the assigned work.

It is tragically sad for experienced and professional engineers like Zauberberg and myself to sit here and watch so much potential engineering skills go to total waste due to erroneous and false ideas about what a Senior Chemical Engineering Project is supposed to produce. You can obtain a rough estimate by calling or contacting a shop and simply asking them a direct question as to their verbal estimate of a typical unit fabrication price.Īll Naive and gullible Chemical Engineering Students requesting a free copy of the magical CapCost spreadsheet: The unit price of the vessel will depend on your location, the size of the vessel, the wall thickness, the material(s), the quantity of welding, the fabrication codes, the market situation, the availability of materials, the competitive market situation, and many other factors. With these, you calculate the weight of the vessel and then apply a unit monetary fabrication cost – such as US$50/lb.
The real critical ones are the Material of Construction and the Shell thickness. You have to specify the other missing items or eliminate them from your estimate. The essential data for determining the cost of a distillation tower are (as you should know): If that is the case, you must have received instructions or lectures on determining the essential data to generate an estimate of equipment costs.
I don’t know what your level of University learning is because you haven’t filled in your personal profile, but I’ll assume it is your last year.
