Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers working in industry have to know about markets, capital investments, cost estimation, construction, transportation, budgeting, and more. Yet the tools used for finding business and market information are different from those used for technical information.

By Scott Jenkins | March 26, 2020

Since 1963, the chemical process industries (CPI) have used Chemical Engineering 's Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) to adjust process plant construction costs from one period to another. Today, however, they have the ability to retrieve CEPCI data more promptly and on demand than the old method of searching for old copies of the magazine or waiting ...
