where n represents the total number of pieces of equipment. The use of these equations is shown in
Example 7.14.
Example 7.14
A small expansion to an existing chemical facility is being investigated, and a preliminary PFD of the
process is shown in Figure E7.14.

The expansion involves the installation of a new distillation column with a reboiler, condenser, pumps,
and other associated equipment. A list of the equipment, sizes, materials of construction, and operating
pressures is given in Table E7.14(a). Using the information in Appendix A, calculate the total module
cost for this expansion in 2006.
