Abstract
Steam is used in many plants to furnish both
heat and mechanical energy. It is typically
produced in several fired boilers which may operate
at different pressures and with different efficiencies.
It is then distributed throughout the plant
to the various users in steam distribution systems,
each one operating at a different pressure and
temperature.
This paper examines various ways to cost steam
and discusses the importance of proper costing.
Specifically it addresses three types of steam
costs; Marginal Costs, Project Evaluation Costs and
Financial Costs.
