The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for July 2022 (most recent available) fell slightly from the previous month's final value, which was downwardly revised by a small amount. The month-to-month decrease is the first in the overall CEPCI value since September 2020. The Equipment subindex, as well as the …



Since its introduction in 1963, the Chemical Engineering (CE) Plant Cost Index has been published in every issues of CE, to help CPI (chemical process industry) professionals adjust process-plant construction costs from one period to another. In this article, some revisions to the underlying methodology are introduced, to make this index more …





Th e preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for October 2023 (most recent available) is lower than the previous month's value, continuing a trend of lower monthly values that has been observed since May 2023. To arrive at the overall CEPCI decline for October 2023, decreases in the Equipment and Buildings subindices …



Each month, Chemical Engineering publishes the latest values for the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) — a widely used resource for plant construction costs. The CEPCI is calculated using various data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Once a year, we calculate and publish an annual average value, which …



Chemical plant cost indexes Last updated January 31, 2023. Chemical plant cost indexes are dimensionless numbers employed to updating capital cost required to erect a chemical plant from a past date to a later time, following changes in the value of money due to inflation and deflation. Since, at any given time, the number of chemical …

The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for March 2022 (the most recent available) rose compared to the previous month. However, the final CEPCI value for February 2022 was revised downwardly from its initial value. In March, all four of the major subindices (Equipment, Construction Labor, Buildings and Engineering & …





The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for January 2023 (most recent available) declined from the previous month's value, continuing a series of seven consecutive monthly decreases in the CEPCI overall value. In addition, the final value for December 2022 was downwardly revised from its preliminary value in a larger …



By Scott Jenkins, Chemical Engineering magazine | March 30, 2022 The value of the 2021 Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI), calculated as an average of the monthly values for the year, was higher than the annual value for 2020 by a large margin, as the CEPCI has risen each month since November 2020.

Calculations using the Zevnik-Buchanan graphs and equations are valid for the year 1996. To convert these 1996 figures to future estimated plant costs, the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Indices (CE Plant Cost Index), from 1980 onward, have been included in Annex 2: both as a graph for easy extrapolation, and as a table.



The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for December 2021 (most recent available) rose compared to the previous month, extending the increases observed throughout 2021. For December 2021, increases in the Equipment and Buildings subindices more than offset reductions in the Construction Labor and Engineering & …





The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for June 2022 (most recent available) edged higher than the previous month's value, continuing the upward trend of the last 18 months, although at a slower pace. In June, small upticks were observed in the Equipment, Construction Labor and Engineering & Supervision …

The chemical engineering plant cost index correlates well with macroeconomic factors.. Current oil prices and current and past interest rates are the independent predictors. • These predictors may also reflect market conditions, inflation and unit labour costs. The correlation is accurate within 3% over the period 1958–2011 and …



The Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) has served as an important tool for chemical process industries (CPI) professionals for cost estimations since 1963. As you likely ... The BLS informs us that all data are used for statistical purposes only and are used only in an aggregated form, so no individual firm is identifiable. For
