Studies for a profitable energy transition
Situation
A large and international chemical company is continuously researching new opportunities for energy and raw materials transition. Various projects are being considered for energy savings and transition to electrification for their plants in Germany and the Netherlands. But how do you know whether the concept is technically and economically feasible? The help of a qualified partner has been called in.
Solution
Further research is needed to identify and implement the most promising energy measures. The chemical company called in KH Engineering for this purpose. The question was a thorough and fundamental order of magnitude cost estimate for the so-called TIC (Total Installed Cost).
The chosen design was refined so that a good cost estimate could be made. The plot of the site and a ‘best guess’ for the construction were taken into account. The TIC was tested against a database with data and prices of both previous projects, as well as market prices of materials in order to make an even more accurate cost estimate.
