Question

A shift reactor unit (Unit 1300) is designed to convert CO to CO2 for future operation. A process flow diagram for a water-gas shift (WGS) reaction system is shown in Figure B.12.1. The stream table and equipment summary are in Table B.12.1 and Table B.12.3, respectively. The objective of the process is to achieve an overall 90% conversion of CO in the process. Based on the PFD, estimate the total module cost and the grassroots cost in year 2016 for the plant. Due to increasing of production, an additional of the similar Unit 1300 has been considered in year 2020. To observe the cost changes until 2020, show a trend plot of grassroots cost between year 2017 and 2020, and calculate the percentage difference in cost for an additional of the Unit 1300 made in 2020 compared to 2016?


Remark: Use suitable references for Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) in order to estimate the cost.
