RE: Where can I obtain a good process plant cost data for estimating?
What kind of process plant are we speaking about? What type of equiment, for what pressure rating, level of automation, etc. ?
What are the products to be obtained from this process plant?
Define the level of accuracy you require.
There are so many questions you need to clarify before you could get a decent answer. You really do need to come back with more details.

www.matche.com seems to be dead, which is no big loss because their estimates were crap in our experience anyway.

I tried to see what is available on the internet and there is one document dating from 2006 and related to cost estimation of a 120,000 BPD condensate refinery located in Iran: http://www.irangi.org/res/CapitalCost/CapitalCost....
However, as others have pointed out, one should be very cautious when interpreting any cost estimation results, unless they are based on actual (executed) projects.

Cost estimation requires experience and a very good understanding of what you base the estimation on.
