The exponent of the cost relation know as ″the six-tenths rules″ indicates the magnitude of the economy of scale for treatment plants, treatment processing units, and process equipment. It is shown that there are greater savings associated with building large units. This exponent can be used to aid in selection of design capacity, scaling up process cost estimates, estimating economy of scale in composite systems, and analyzing installations requiring multiple units.
