Costing Method Variables
++++++++++++++++++++++++

The following variables are constructed on the unit block (e.g., m.fs.unit.costing) when applying the `cost_anaerobic_digester` costing method in the ``watertap_costing_package``:

.. csv-table::
:header: "Description", "Symbol", "Variable Name", "Index", "Units"

"description", ":math:`Symbol_{example}`", "``variable_name``", "[t]", ":math:`\text{dimensionless}`"
There are no costing method variables unique to the anaerobic digester.

Capital Cost Calculations
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Describe capital costs..keep it concise where possible

.. math::

C_{cap,tot} = C_{cap,example1}+C_{cap,example2}+C_{cap,other}
Capital cost is dependent upon the unit's volumetric flowrate, :math:`F`, as shown in the equation below.

.. math::

C_{cap,example1} = fill in equation for each component in total capex equation
C_{cap,tot} = A * F/F_r^{B}

Operating Cost Calculations
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Describe operating/maintenance costs..keep it concise where possible
Electricity :math:`C_{elec}` is a variable operating cost based on the energy intensity :math:`E` of the unit process
(electricity consumption for the anaerobic digester), electricity price :math:`P`, electricity flow :math:`Q`, and the plant
utilization factor :math:`f_{util}`. The annual electricity costs are calculated as:

.. math::

C_{op,tot} = C_{op,example1}+C_{op,example2}+C_{op,other}

.. math::

C_{op,example1} = fill in equation for each component in total opex equation

C_{op, tot} = C_{elec} = E Q f_{util} P
