advantageous
The gains in production are not worth the higher
expenditures (in capital investment and in operating costs)
that would be associated with those operating pressures.
Equipment for high pressure applications is much more
expensive, the feed would need to be pressurized, etc.,
and as in the real world, a project's budget must be
economical, or else the project will never get off the
ground.
