    Cost of Reactor

    Uploaded by

    The cost of a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) for a chemical process can be estimated using correlations from published literature. Based on the size of the CSTR needed, which is 0.094767 m3, and cost correlations from Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering, the estimated cost of the CSTR is $5,844.59. Additionally, using correlations for the overall capital cost that factor in the desired annual production rate, reactor throughput, and number of reactor units, the total estimated capital cost is £1,359,689.04 or RM8,655,713.12.

    Cost of reactor

    From table 6.2 from Coulson and Richardsons Chemical Engineering, Vol 6, the cost could be
    calculated as such :
    Ce = CSn
    Ce = purchased equipment cost
    C = cost constant from Table 6.2
    S = characteristics size parameter, units given in Table 6.2
    n = index for that type of equipment
    Since we are using CSTR for our process, thus we are looking into the
    reactors (jacketed, agitated)
    column,
    0.40
    Ce = $15,000 x ( 0.094767m3
    )

    = $5, 844.59

    Capital cost in pounds sterling

    s=

    s = 94.767kgperday
    200kgperday = 0.4738

    Number of functional units : anaerobic digester, CSTR ; N = 2


    Thus, C = 150,000 x 2 x (

    73.0
    0.4738

    )0.30

    = 1,359,689.04 pounds sterling


    = 8,655,713.12 MYR
