Hi !

Any tips on the websites to find equipment cost and MFP (Materials and Pressures Factors) (Guthrie's Index) for general:

reactor
absorbers
compressor

Thanks.

quercus14 - Try http://www.matche.com/ . It provides a starting point for major equipment estimates. In most cases you can input pressure, material, capacity, and get an equipment cost. Strangely you cannot input pressure vessel design pressure.
