Services - Process Costs

Matches provides conceptual process capital and operating cost estimates for industrial plants. Matches has over five decades of experience in process and cost engineering. Matches has a large amount of process cost data. Process costs and operating cost are keys to understanding a manufacturing process.

Matches can help select and size a manufacturing process based upon your customer's needs. Once selected, Matches can estimate the process cost and the operating expenses. Matches can provide an application guide for the selected process.

An process cost study example is the production of electric energy. In the USA this industry is highly regulated monopoly. A process cost study is a very complicated issue for electric power generation. Power generation processes can be identified by their energy imputs which include nuclear, fossil fuel, hydro, wind, ocean and solar. Each energy source has capital and operating cost requirements for a particular size. On a continuous basis, renewable resource fueled processes produce only a faction of their design capacity, tend to be multiples of small units and are often far from the energy user. The cost of each process's environmental impact is hard to quantify.
