Cryogenic Storage & LNG Equipment worked example

Cryogenic Project Margin with quoted price for the cryogenic project of 310 $: a worked example

What does the result look like when quoted price for the cryogenic project reaches 310 $? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when cryogenic project margin in cryogenic storage and lng equipment needs a clean margin number for a cryogenic storage and lng equipment go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted price for the cryogenic project: 310 $ (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Estimated cost to build and deliver the project: 100 $ (unchanged)
  • Revenue base used to express the margin: 100 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Project gross margin dollars = expected cryogenic project revenue − required project cost) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for cryogenic project margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for project gross margin dollars.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for expected project revenue.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for estimated project cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted price for the cryogenic project sits at 125 $ and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when quoted price for the cryogenic project is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It is a gross margin, not net: it excludes overhead, warranty reserves, and financing, so a healthy gross can still net to a loss on a long cryogenic project.

Results at a glance

  • Cryogenic project margin: 210 % (headline result)
  • Project gross margin dollars: 210 value
  • Expected project revenue: 310 value
  • Estimated project cost: 100 value
