Calculating the True Cost of Steam

Course No. M-1004

Credit: 1 PDH

Course Fee: $28.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR

 

Overview

It is important for the engineer to know the true cost of steam that is generated and consumed in a process. It is essential to properly evaluate the economics of proposed process efficiency or capacity-improvement projects. Additionally, knowing the true cost of steam serves as a basis for optimizing the steam generation system, ensuring more effective negotiations with utility companies and properly evaluating proposed cogeneration projects.

In this course, the student will review the document "How to Calculate the True Cost of Steam" published by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • The importance of determining the true cost of steam in a facility
  • The different methods used to calculate steam costs
  • Calculating the cost of steam generation
  • Setting up a heat and material balance simulation model of the system
  • The use of marginal cost vs. average cost in a model
  • Calculation of steam costs at different flow rates
  • The dependency of steam costs on the path that steam follows through the generation and distribution systems
