Acrylonitrile Production Costs - Q2 2023
Acrylonitrile Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Acrylonitrile (a.k.a. 2-Propenenitrile, Prop-2-enenitrile, Vinyl Cyanide) is an organic compound, consisting of a vinyl group linked to a nitrile, with worldwide production of more than 10 billion pounds per year. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with onion-like odor. It is a very reactive compound, due to its high polar nature (arising from the presence of the nitrogen heteroatom) and unsaturation. In the absence of a hydroquinone inhibitor, it polymerizes spontaneously when exposed to light, heat or in the presence of a strong alkali.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Acrylonitrile production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Acrylonitrile Production from Propylene (Fluidized Bed Ammoxidation)
This report presents the economics of Acrylonitrile production from chemical grade (CG) propylene in the United States. The process reviewed is a propylene ammoxidation technology using fluidized bed reactor, in which propylene reacts with ammonia, producing Acrylonitrile, and generating acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide as by-products.
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Acrylonitrile E11A target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Acrylonitrile Production from Propylene (Fixed Bed Ammoxidation)
This report approaches the economics of Acrylonitrile production from chemical grade (CG) propylene in the United States. The process reviewed is a propylene ammoxidation technology using a fixed bed reactor, in which propylene reacts with ammonia, producing Acrylonitrile, and generating acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide as by-products.
Details: 150 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Acrylonitrile E12A target a 150 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Acrylonitrile Production from Propane
This study presents the economics of Acrylonitrile production via propane ammoxidation. The process is similar to the one proposed by PTT Asahi Chemical (PTTAC), consisting in the reaction of propane with ammonia, producing Acrylonitrile. Acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide are produced as by-products. The analysis assumes a plant located in the United States,
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Acrylonitrile E21A target a 200 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
