Cost Estimation Best Practices for Process Control and Electrical Distribution


With over 30 years of experience Harvey Welker unites with AspenTech to deliver this Expert-Led Training class. From tomato soup to industrial wastewater, with stops at refineries and chemical plants in between, that is quite an estimating journey with ACCE!


Harvey is one of the most experienced ACCE experts and in this training, he will share several techniques and best practices to fully embrace the capabilities of ACCE, from simplifying the adoption into your organization, to advanced workflows to estimate detailed elements.​


The course will instruct the ACCE user on how Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) develops and costs electrical and instrument systems.

Approach

  • Instruction on basic topics
  • Participate in instructor-guided demonstrations which show how the product features contribute to efficient estimate preparation
  • Hands-on workshops provide students with many opportunities to use the product and to apply concepts learned in seminar sessions

Subsequent Courses

  • EEE102 Introduction to Aspen Process Economic Analyzer
  • EEE103 Introduction to Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator
  • EEE201 Aspen Capital Cost Estimator: Advanced Topics

Agenda

KEY DISTANCES


There are sixteen key distances that determine electrical and instrument distribution costs. The instruction will show how to set each key distance to produce best practice E&I estimates. The training will demonstrate how ACCE calculates E&I estimate parameters.


INSTRUMENTS & PROCESS CONTROL


The course will demonstrate how ACCE builds the instrument loop and show the anatomy of the instrument loop. The course will show the best practices to build the process control architecture (signals to the control center, control center setup and operator center specifications)

Detailed instruction will be followed by hands on workshops.

The course will review the ACCE output reports and show how to find key instrument costs and metrics in the reports.


ELECTRICS


The course will demonstrate how ACCE develops electrical single line diagrams. The instruction will show how the user can build their own electrical single line architecture within ACCE. The attendees will learn how to interpret the ACCE electrical output reports. The various electrical component symbols will be discussed in detail so that the attendees can effectively read the ACCE electrical output reports.
