Carbon Capture & CO₂ Compression Equipment calculator
Solvent Makeup Cost Calculator
Estimate solvent makeup cost for an amine or liquid-solvent capture loop after degradation, carryover, reclaiming loss, or blowdown. Quantity times rate times capture factor, plus a fixed adjustment, builds a defensible weighted cost.
What this calculator does
- Estimate solvent makeup cost for an amine or liquid-solvent capture loop after degradation, carryover, reclaiming loss, or blowdown.
- Use it when solvent makeup cost in carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment is being put through a carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment weighted-cost review.
- Turns solvent makeup required, delivered solvent price, capture train cost share into a weighted cost for solvent makeup cost in carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment.
Formula used
- Variable solvent makeup cost = solvent makeup required × delivered solvent price × capture train cost share
- Total solvent makeup cost = variable solvent makeup cost + fixed solvent handling cost
Inputs explained
- Solvent makeup required: Enter solvent replacement volume or mass for the month, campaign, turnaround interval, or capture train.
- Delivered solvent price: Use current amine, solvent, reclaiming, or blended chemical cost on the same unit basis.
- Capture train cost share: Use 100% for a dedicated system or allocate the share attributable to this skid, absorber, or process line.
- Fixed solvent handling cost: Add delivery minimums, tank cleaning, reclaiming service, lab checks, or disposal costs tied to the makeup event.
How to use the result
- Use it when solvent makeup cost in carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment is being scored for capture or weighted cost.
- Risk-adjustments and discount rates are not in the formula; layer them on top for capital reviews.
Common questions
- How does this solvent makeup cost calculator help my carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment team? Estimate solvent makeup cost for an amine or liquid-solvent capture loop after degradation, carryover, reclaiming loss, or blowdown. You get a weighted cost you can defend before quoting, scheduling, or sign-off.
- Where do I get the inputs for this carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment calculator? solvent makeup required, delivered solvent price, capture train cost share usually move the weighted cost most. Pull from measured carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment runs, supplier data, and recent quotes rather than memory.
- How should I act on the output? Use the weighted cost in the carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment business case or quote build-up.
- What should I double-check before acting? Confirm the capture factor is honest; over-stated capture is the most common reason these models miss.
