(f) The Styrene process plant for which a capital cost analysis estimates the fixed capital investment to be $39,000,000, while the material and energy balance provide the cost for utilities ($64,700,000), and the cost of waste treatment ($50,000). [8 marks] (vi) Estimate the cost of manufacture (without depreciation) for the chemical plant. (vii) Estimate the direct manufacture costs. (viii) Estimate the fixed manufacturing cost. (ix) Estimate the general expenses. (x) Determine the fraction of the cost of manufacture that is attributable to direct manufacture costs, fixed manufacturing cost and general expenses. (g) What will be the manufacturing cost (in $/kg ) of the Styrene produced? Justify the difference, if any, between the selling price and the manufacturing price? [ 5 marks] NOTE: - All the data for the purchased cost of equipment were obtained from a survey of equipment manufacturers during the period May to September of 2001, so an average value of the CEPCI of 397 over this period should be used when accounting for inflation. - Annual operating hours: 8200 hours - The current cost for a chemical plant operator is $70,000/ year cef: Turton, R.
