The same algorithm presented above is used to estimate bare module costs for all equipment. This
information is listed in Table E7.14(b), along with purchased equipment cost, pressure factors, material
factors, and bare module factors.

Table E7.14(b) Results of Capital Cost Estimate for Example 7.14

The substitutions from Table E7.14(b) are made into Equations 7.15 and 7.16 to determine the total
module cost and the grassroots cost.

Although the grassroots cost is not appropriate here (because we have only a small expansion to an
existing facility), it is shown for completeness.
