To convert these 1996 figures to future estimated plant costs, the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Indices (CE Plant Cost Index), from 1980 onward, have been included in Annex 2: both as a graph for easy extrapolation, and as a table. For reference purposes, the 1986 Bartholomai investment costs of some 40 different food factories are listed in ...
The weighting of such factors, which is defined by the realized degree of importance of each component in the specific index (or sub-index), aims to represent the costs variations typically found for chemical plants.
Discover the latest trends in power plant capital costs with the IHS CERA Index. Stay informed on the rising expenses shaping the energy industry. Daily Prices. Updated Sep 5, 2024.
All the equipment cost is indexed to year 2007, using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (Lozowski, 2012). The equipment and utility costs of the heat exchanger network (HEN) are calculated ...
1. Introduction. Cost has been the primary issue facing the nuclear industry for over twenty years. When explaining the relatively limited expansion of nuclear power, the recent MIT Future of Nuclear report stated, "the fundamental problem is cost" [1].An assessment by the Nuclear Energy Agency of FOAK nuclear plants that began …
The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for March 2024 (most recent available) is higher than the previous month's value, albeit by a very small margin. The small uptick is the third consecutive monthly rise. In March, small increases were observed in the Equipment and Construction Labor subindices, while the …
Chemical Engineering magazine publishes the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index, which is widely used to quickly evaluate equipment and plant costs for the chemical and process industries. As of 2002, the index consisted of the weighted average of 41 PPIs (industry and commodity indices) and 12 labor cost indices, all reported by …

The CEPCI is a composite index of four sub-indexes that adjust process plant construction costs from one period to another. It consists of 41 Producer Price Indexes (PPIs) updated and published monthly by the U.S. Department of Labor.
The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for January 2023 (most recent available) declined from the previous month's value, continuing a series of seven consecutive monthly decreases in the CEPCI overall value. In addition, the final value for December 2022 was downwardly revised from its preliminary value in a larger …
The chemical engineering plant cost index correlates well with macroeconomic factors. • Current oil prices and current and past interest rates are the …
Since 1963, the chemical process industries (CPI) have used Chemical Engineering's Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) to adjust process plant construction costs from one period to another. Today, however, they have the ability to retrieve CEPCI data more promptly and on demand than the old method of searching for old copies of the …
Updating the CE Plant Cost Index Vatavuk, William M. Chemical Engineering 109.1 (Jan 2002): 62-70. Introduction For more than 37 years, chemical process-industry professionals -- engineers, managers, and technicians -- have used the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) to adjust process plant construction costs from one period to another.
Chemical Engineering magazine publishes the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index, which is widely used to quickly evaluate equipment and plant costs for the chemical …
Learn how the CEPCI, a widely used index to adjust process plant construction costs, has been revised to reflect changes in the chemical-process industry. See the structure, …
The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for December 2022 (most recent available) fell compared to the previous month's value. The current decrease is the sixth consecutive monthly decline, following a long string of increases between November 2020 and June 2022.
An applicable index related to costs associated with combined cycle power plants must be referenced. An appropriate index indicates a 2011 index value of 1.56 and a 2013 index value of 1.76. Thus, the 2011 historical cost must be escalated to 2013 dollars as shown below:
The article explores the correlation between the chemical engineering plant cost index (CEPCI) and macro-economic factors such as oil prices and interest rates. It …
Index of Public Utility Construction Costs, Engineering News-Record ("ENR") Construction Cost Index, Nelson-Farrar Refinery Cost Index, IHS Downstream Capital Cost Index ("DCCI"), Chemical Engineering's Plant Cost Index, Marshall and Swift ("M&S") Cost Index, and various indices published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics ...
Chemical plants are built to make a profit, and an estimate of the investment required and the cost of production is needed before the profitability of a project can be assessed.
Struggling to find current and historical information for CEPCI? Follow the steps in this video to find the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI).
Cost analysis suggests that the plant's total cost, including the cost of transporting and storing CO2, is $ 186 million and cost of CO2 avoidance is $ 110 per tonne, while the levelized cost of ...
CEPCI (Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index) is available in each print issue of Chemical Engineering.The last page of each issue is devoted to Economic Indicators (CEPCI, Current Business Indicators, Consumer Price Index, and Current Trends, an overall look at how the CEPCI has changed in the recent months).
Calculate the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) using a neural network model based on 10 additional factors. The model delivers an approximation of …
Next, the escalated cost must be scaled to account for the difference in size between the proposed plant and the existing plant. As derived from 2012 Gas Turbine World Handbook ("GTW") data in a subsequent section of this paper an appropriate scale factor to apply in cost estimates for combined cycle power plants is 0.82.
The value of the 2023 Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index ® (CEPCI) decreased compared to the previous year's value, but remains substantially above the levels observed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual CEPCI value is calculated as an average of the monthly values for the index observed throughout the year. The …
