Plant Cost
Multipole Projects has vast experience in capital and operating costing of chemical pilot plants and commercial process plants and have completed costings of up to 2 billion ZAR (HF/ATF Plant, Ball Grain Propellent Plant, and others).
Multipole Projects has a large database of equipment and prices and update the values continuously.
When high-level costing is required and little information is available, Multipole Projects developed a costing sheet making use of factorisation as well as information gained from previous costing exercises.
