(A) A preliminary design of a chemical plant to produce sulphuric acid from the solid sulphur pellets has been conducted. The plant ps to produce 100,000 tons of sulphuric acid per year. The total cost of the major process equipment excluding the storage facilities is $108,350 million. Estimate the total capital investment required for this particular project if working capital is five percent of fixed capital in US dollars. Plaf ~よ atlainf is 959% [5] (B) As a process engineer you have tasked to calculate the direct production cost of the project in Q4. (A), given the following information; Note: F.C = Fixed Capital %3D (a) Maintenance at (5 % F.C) (b) Capital Charge at (6 % F.C) (c) Insurance at (2 % F.C ) (d) Sulphur pellets (80,000 tons), cost $ 150/1000 Kg 5/s (e) Raw Water (200,000L), cost $ 0.2 /L (1) Cooling Water ( 8000,00OL), $ 0.5/L (g) Catalysts 120t/h, cost $35/t (h) Electricity 1 MW, cost $1.2/MJ [5] 100 (A) A preliminary design of a chemical plant to produce sulphuric acid from the solid sulphur pellets has been conducted.
