Report Abstract
This feasibility study assesses the production of Adipic Acid from benzene and propylene in the United States. In the process depicted, phenol is initially produced from benzene and propylene by means of alkylation, oxidation and cleavage. Then, phenol is hydrogenated to produce KA oil, which is then oxidized with nitric acid to produce Adipic Acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Adipic Acid production and related Adipic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Adipic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Adipic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Adipic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Adipic Acid production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Adipic Acid plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Adipic Acid plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Products
Adipic Acid. Adipic Acid is one of the most commercially important aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, produced on a very large scale at several locations worldwide.
Acetone. Acetone, also known as 2-propanone, is the simplest ketone. It is used as solvent for a wide range of organic compounds (e.g. oils, fats, resins, waxes and gums). It is also used as feedstock for the production of several chemicals, such as methyl methacrylate, bisphenol A, and methyl isobutyl ketone. The main source of acetone is the process for phenol production from cumene, which generates acetone as by-product at an approximate ratio for 0.6 kg of acetone per kg of phenol. Industrial consumers of acetone usually receive shipments in large containers made of carbon steel, tank trucks made of stainless steel or aluminum, or rail tank cars made of carbon steel or aluminum. International shipments by sea are usually made in steel barges and amount at least 2,000 metric tons.
Raw Materials
Propylene. Propylene, the main raw material consumed, is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is a low-boiling, flammable, and highly volatile gas, with molecular formula C3H6. Propylene reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. It may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract; propylene has low acute toxicity from inhalation. PG Propylene has been mainly produced as ethylene manufacturing co-product (via steam cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons) and by-product of petroleum refining (separation from refinery gas). Most recently, amid a tight propylene market, new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production have emerged.
Benzene. Benzene (C6H6) is a flammable and volatile liquid. As the most simple aromatic hydrocarbon, it is used as an intermediate to produce many important chemicals, such as styrene (raw material for polystyrene and synthetic rubber), cyclohexane (used in nylon production), alkylbenzenes (used in detergent industry), aniline (used to produce dyes and polyurethanes), and chlorobenzenes. Also, benzene is used to produce pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, plastics, and pesticides. It occurs naturally in crude oil and coal tar.
