You could also use QUE$TOR, however that would give you a very rough estimation.
Cost estimation requires experience and a very good understanding of what you base the estimation on.

For which part of the world?
What kind of process plant are we speaking about? What type of equiment, for what pressure rating, level of automation, etc. ?
What are the products to be obtained from this process plant?
Define the level of accuracy you require.
There are so many questions you...
I guess it is a cost/time vs. importance/urgency issue. Whenever faced with something similar, I tried to educate myself either by talking with my mentor, or other experienced engineers. This forum is also a source of high quality information coming from experienced engineers.
The explosion proof you ask about refers to the equipment classification. There are many ways to reach the safety level you need. The equipment could be: intrinsic safe, encapsulated, oil immersed, etc.
Please see the file attached.

Do you want to calculate an average OPEX, or you need a more accurate OPEX calculation? e.g. function of when spare parts need to be purchased based on vendor recommendation.
sshep,
If you are saying that the total annual capacity is the same as the one specified by you (as you say... "needed") than we could assume (as we do not know exactly) some of the reasons:
1. fit for purpose solution (lean and clean design)
2. not using redundancy if possible, thus...
Hi nebulous,
To begin with, you are saying that "This issue has already been raised in three different threads on this forum, but all the provided information on drying of LPG stream was rather incomplete". It would have been very useful if you would have also included a link to the previous...
Hi,
I am working on a project which is in Detail Design/Execution Phase. Part of the new system is a inlet manifold which is equipped with SOV Emergency Shut-Down valves for isolation and safety. The manifold is also equipped with a well testing header and to be able to switch the wells from...
What you could also do is to glue yourself to a senior engineer and try to learn from him as much as possible. You could also research some interesting topics which you are interested in and discuss them with your mentor.
I agree with itdepends.
In the PIDs i have seen/reviewed the spectacle blind is placed on the nozzle of the vessel. if there is a spectacle blind for positive isolation somewhere in the PIDs, then depends on the equipment/section/process that you intend to isolate.
