Issues regarding the costs of utilities such as water, electricity, and steam
Thread Content
When calculating these costs, is it simply done by multiplying the usage amount? If it’s steam, should we consider the costs associated with designing the heat exchange network?
Water prices generally take into account electricity consumption; for electricity rates, one should consult the power company. Steam prices are mainly determined by coal-based electricity consumption and labor costs
Public utilities vary from region to region, so it is advisable to consult local companies. The price of water varies significantly between the south and the north: it is around 2 yuan per ton in the south, while in water-scarce areas in the north it ranges from 6 to 8 yuan per ton. Of course, the water quality also plays a role. The electricity price is generally 0.55 yuan per kilowatt-hour. As for the price of steam, it depends on its pressure level; it can be estimated based on its calorific value and the price of coal.
Could that fellow from the sea explain in detail the method for calculating water, gas, and electricity consumption!!!!
How are utilities such as water, electricity, and steam allocated to various workshops?
Of course, utility costs should be allocated based on the processes and power consumption of each workshop. The most accurate way to allocate them is by considering the steam balance, electricity balance, and water balance of all units in the plant, with utility losses to be distributed proportionally.
