Capital Cost

← Previous | Next →

This is a standard capital cost result screen. This screen also applies to the secondary fabric filter used in the Oxyfuel Low S configuration.

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 model factors that affect the capital costs of the fabric filter are the fabric filter type, the air to cloth ratio, the number of bags and compartments, and the flue gas flow rate through the fabric filter.

The fabric filter has the following process areas:

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