Introduction
• The cost associated with the day-to-day operation of a
chemical plant
• The primary components of the cost of manufacture are raw

materials, utilities, and waste treatment
Estimation of Manufacturing Costs
• Direct Costs
– Include expenses directly associated with the manufacturing operation
– Vary with production rate but not necessarily directly proportional
• Fixed Costs
- expenses that remain practically constant from year to year
– Do not vary with production rate but relate “directly” to production function
• General Expenses
– Functions to which operations must contribute – overhead burden
– For hospital and medical services, general plant maintenance and overhead etc.
– Do not vary with changes in production rate
Direct Costs Fixed Costs General Expenses
• Raw Materials • Depreciation – • Administration costs

• Waste Treatment cover as a separate • Distribution and selling
• Utilities topic in Chapter 9 costs of products
• Operating Labor • Local taxes and • Research and
• Supervisory and Clerical insurance development expenses
Labor • Rent such as salaries,
• Maintenance and Repairs special equipment,
• Operating Supplies research facilities and
• Laboratory Charges consultant fee
• Patents and Royalties
Refer to Table 8.1 - Description of items
Cost of Manufacture (COM)
= Direct Manufacturing Costs (DMC) + Table 8.2
Fixed Manufacturing Costs (FMC) +
General Expenses (GE)
The cost of manufacturing, COM, can be

determined when the following costs are known
or can be estimated:
1. Fixed capital investment (FCI) (CTM or CGR)
2. Cost of operating labor (COL)
3. Cost of utilities (CUT)
4. Cost of waste treatment (CWT)
5. Cost of raw materials (CRM)
with depreciation as 10% FCI
COM  0.280 FCI  2.73COL  1.23 CUT  CWT  CRM  (8.1)
COM d  0.180 FCI  2.73COL  1.23CUT  CWT  C RM  (8.2)
COM without depreciation – we use

this since we calculate depreciation
more accurately in Chapter 9 • FCI – Chapter 7 (CTM or CGR)
• COL
• CRM Look at these
• CUT separately
• CWT
Cost of Operating Labor (COL)
N OL  (6.29  31.7 P 2  0.23N np )0.5
NOL = the number of operators per shift

P = particulate processing steps – (Eg. transportation and
distribution, particulate size control, & particulate removal)
Nnp = non-particulate processing steps – (Eg: compression,
heating/cooling, mixing, separation, and reaction)
Important note – Above equation based on data from chemical plants

and refineries where number of particle processing steps is low.
For units with more than 2 solids processing steps ignore middle term
and add 1 operator per solids step
Cost of Operating Labor (COL)
Example - acetone process
• NOL = [6.29 + (31.7)(0)2+ (0.23)(13)]0.5 = 3.05
• Number of operators required for one

operator per shift :
= (49 wk/yr)(5 shifts/operator/wk)
= 245 shifts/year/operator
• Total shifts per year = (365)(3 shifts per day)

= 1095 shifts/year
1095 / 245 = 4.5 operators (for a single shift)
• Total Operators = (3.05)(4.5) = 13.75  14
2 0.5 • S$59,580/yr (2010 Gulf-Coast average)

N OL  (6.29  31.7 P  0.23N np )
COL = (59,580)(14) = $834K
Cost of Utilities, Waste Treatment &
Raw Materials

• Flowrates
– Get these from PFD – use stream factor Yearly Cost
• Stream Factor
§ The fraction of time that the plant is
operating in a year Stream Factor (SF)
§ Operating hours/days per year divided by Number of days plant operate per year

total hours/days per year 365

Cost of Utilities (CUT)
• Fuel for Fired Heaters Cost of Fuel
– PFD gives process load (energy balance)
but total flow is more due to efficiency –
70-90% from Table 11.11 – item 13.
– Fuel costs may vary wildly – Figure 8.1
• Electricity for pumps and compressors –

Figure 8.7
– Shaft power – fluid power/efficiency
– Power to drive – shaft power/drive
efficiency
* PFD usually gives shaft power

– but be careful!

Pumps and Compressor
Drives (Data from Couper
et al. [18], Chapter 4)
Utilities - Steam Table 8.5 Theoretical Steam Requirements
(kg steam/kWh)
• Pressure levels
– Low (30 – 90 psi)
– Medium (150 – 250 psi)
– High (525 – 680 psi)
• Available saturated but sometimes superheated
• Large chemical complexes generate high-
pressure steam and use excess pressure to
generate electricity – Figure 8.6.
• Steam can be used as a drive medium for
compressors and pumps
– Thermodynamic efficiency – Table 8.5
– Drive efficiency – Figure 8.7

Utilities - Steam and Boiler Feed Water
Condensate Return If Steam Lost in Process Steam Generated in Process
Just use steam costs Use steam cost + BFW Take credit for (steam – BFW)
since condensate is not returned
Utilities - Cooling water
• Make-up based on DT (40 - 30)C

• Should charge cw based on energy used
§ Table 8.3
• Does not matter (much) if cw returned at
40C or 45C – same energy
• 45C is absolute max – due to fouling
Utilities - Refrigerated Water / Refrigerant
• Same as previous slide in that

energy costs are not DT
dependent – but cost based on
5°C supply temperature
• Other refrigerants are possible
and costas Temperature
• Generation of refrigeration
requires a refrigeration cycle
• Figure 8.4 shows cost of
refrigeration as a function of
temperature

From Problem 7.21 (using CAPCOST), we find that the fixed capital investment
(CGR) for the process is $ 11.7 × 106.
