O&M Cost

← Previous | Next →

The parameters on the O&M Cost parameter screen define the financing assumptions associated with the steam methane reforming system. The following parameters are available:

•Water Price: This is the unit cost of water used for natural gas reforming. This value is included for reference only; you may set it on the Overall Plant O&M Cost screen.

•Zinc Oxide Catalyst Price: This is the unit cost of Zinc Oxide Sulfur Guard Catalyst used for natural gas reforming. This cost is adjusted using the cost adjustment factor of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

•Pre-Reformer Catalyst Price: This is the unit cost of Pre-Reformer Catalyst used for natural gas reforming. This cost is adjusted using the cost adjustment factor of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

•Primary Reformer Catalyst Price: This is the unit cost of Primary Reformer Catalyst used for natural gas reforming. This cost is adjusted using the cost adjustment factor of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

•Zinc Oxide Catalyst Disp. Cost: This is the unit disposal cost of Zinc Oxide Sulfur Guard Catalyst used for natural gas reforming. This cost is adjusted using the cost adjustment factor of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

•Electricity Price: This is the price of electricity. It is shown for reference and may be set on the Overall Plant O&M Cost screen.
