OAQPS Control Cost Manual (Fourth Edition). Supplement 1. Final report

The document is the first supplement to the OAQPS Control Cost Manual (Fourth Edition). The supplement consists of two new Manual chapters, Chapter 7 (Flares) and Chapter 8 (Refrigerated Condensers). As in the parent Manual, each of these self-contained chapters discusses: (1) the types and applications of the control device (flare or refrigerated condenser); (2) the theory underlying its operation and design; (3) basic sizing/design procedures; and (4) procedures for estimating study-level (+ or - 30%-accurate) capital and annual costs. The chapter also contains current equipment costs for the device, correlated with some gas stream or sizing parameter(s) (e.g., refrigeration tonnage). Each chapter contains a table of contents, list of references, and (if appropriate) appendices to accompany the main subject matter.
