I am a member of the Plant Cost Calculator team. This semester I have learned about the various costs associated with building and operating an Aguaclara plant. I have studied the available cost data and identified relevant information. I have consolidated this reviewed and verified relevant plant cost data. I consolidated the relevant cost data into a more readable excel document. I have identified which user inputs will be necessary for an accurate estimate as well as what these inputs default values should be. I have also worked with Chris and Monroe in developing a cost formula and am currently working to improve this formulaWith this relevant cost data I created various cost formulas that are being used in the plant cost calculator, which provides the user with accurate capital and operational cost estimates. I identified user inputs that that would provide a feasible, yet accurate, plant cost estimate. I also wrote code that accesses current currency conversion rates to provide a more accurate estimate to the user.
