ABSTRACT

However, it can easily be fathomed that it would be dramatically lower for a lightly instrumented 100% carbon steel or a heavily retrofitted plant.

Fortunately the scope of effectiveness of the TFCF can be modified and broadened by the judicious analysis of its cost components shown in Table 19.36. For lack of better information this breakdown is based on the typical cost breakdown in Table 10.1 after backing out the equipment and engineering costs

• At the time there were only two cases available that justified modification of the TFCF. Being aware that "one hot day summer does not make" I went ahead with the analysis anyway and was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the check estimates.
