Additional capital costs include siteworkand interface piping, standby power, overhead and profit, engineering, legal, fiscal, and administrativefees. There are no process costs associated with the additional capital costs. As a result, costbreakdowns need only consider the construction cost output from these two models. Tables 3-4 and3-6 present sample capital cost breakdowns for the Water and W/W Cost models, respectively.Capital cost breakdowns for each technology and unit process are presented in Appendices A throughC for the VSS, Water, and W/W Cost models, respectively.3-4
