b) If I want to change the installation factor of the distillation column and its related equipment, could I ask you how to change it?
c) I build distillation tower with bst.BinaryDistillation(ins, P=101325, Lr=0.999, Hr=0.99, k=1.2, Rmin=0.001, LHK=()). However, the sum of equipment purchase cost (4.46E+06) in excel's Design requirements data table (as shown in the figure below) is lower than the purchase cost (4.49E +06) in Itemized costs data table. May I ask you why?
a) Hello, the![1](https://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/Bioindustrial-Park/assets/125726021/83276302-20be-4bee-886c-250880f0736b)
installation factor
of thedistillation column
seems to be a little high. The installation factor of the distillation column inNREL (corn stover 2011 model)
is2.4-2.8
(as shown in the figure below), while that inBioSTEAM is 4.3
(https://biosteam.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/biosteam/units/distillation.html#Distillation:~:text=_F_BM_default%20%3D%20%7B,%3A%201.%7D). Is that not right?b) If I want to change the installation factor of the distillation column and its related equipment, could I ask you how to change it?

bst.BinaryDistillation(ins, P=101325, Lr=0.999, Hr=0.99, k=1.2, Rmin=0.001, LHK=())

in excel'sDesign requirements
data table (as shown in the figure below) is lower than the purchase cost(4.49E +06)

data table. May I ask you why?d) May I ask you what the installation factor of other distillation column related equipment (
Condenser - Double pipe, Reflux drum - Vertical pressure vessel, Reflux drum - Platform and ladders, Pump – Pump, Pump – Motor, Reboiler - Floating head
) is? It doesn't seem to be specified in the code (https://biosteam.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/biosteam/units/distillation.html#Distillation:~:text=_F_BM_default%20%3D%20%7B,%3A%201.%7D). Thanks for your help. Wish you a good day.
