Capital Cost

← Previous | Next →

This is a standard capital cost result screen.

Each process area direct capital cost is a reduced-form model based on regression analysis of data collected from several reports and analyses of particulate control technology units. They are described in general below. The primary factors in the model that affect the capital costs of the cold-side ESP are the specific and total collection areas of the T-R plate sets, and the flue gas flow rate through the ESP.

The ESP has the following capital cost process areas:

•Particulate Collector: This area covers the material and labor, flange to flange, for the equipment and labor cost for installation of the entire collection system.

•Ductwork: This area includes the material and labor for the ductwork needed to distribute flue gas to the inlet flange, and from the outlet flange to a common duct leading to the suction side of the ID fan.

•Fly Ash Handling: The complete fly ash handling cost includes the conveyor system and ash storage silos.

•Differential ID Fan: The complete cost of the ID fan and motor due to the pressure loss that results from particulate collectors.
