Software for Static Equipment Budgeting of China’s Petrochemical Industry

We developed software by using Python language to reduce the manual work in the petrochemical budgeting process. Budget forms automatically generated by the software are based on the acquisition cost of items of static equipment and their installation fees. The software is also able to generate an Excel file that can be imported into the petrochemical aggregation software. This article explains the logic of the software based on the static equipment workflow in the current project. It provides development ideas to solve the problem of manually inputting equipment installation indexes, avoid confusion of equipment prices in the traditional estimate preparation process, and improve the work efficiency in the future.
