A note on the use of cost indices in the chemical industry
The chemical engineering plant cost index (CEPCI) is widely used for updating the capital costs of process engineering projects. Typically, forecasting it requires twenty or so parameters. As an alternative, we suggest a correlation for predicting the index as a function of readily available and forecast macro-economic indicators ...

A Cost = $10,000,000 3 (394.1/125.7) = $31,300,000 (3) This cost is not likely to be accurate. To begin with, during the intervening thirty years a host of changes occurred. Some of these changes involved the liquid-oxygen production process. There are steps made more efficient, steps omitted and steps added.
