Aromatics BTX Production Cost Reports - Q3 2021
Capital Investment & Operating Cost of Aromatics BTX Plants
Aromatics BTX (a.k.a. BTX) refers to mixtures of the aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, toluene, and xylene isomers. These chemicals can be obtained from a number of processes. However, most BTX production is based on the recovery of aromatics from catalytic reforming of naphtha in petroleum refinery. BTX aromatics are very important petrochemical intermediates to produce a large number of petrochemicals, like ethylbenzene, cumene, cyclohexane, TDI, TPA, phthalic anhydride, among others. Toluene is also a valuable for use as solvent and as a high octane gasoline component.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Aromatics BTX production. 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 (Q3 2021).
You can find below reports focused on Aromatics BTX production processes currently offered by Intratec. If none of the off-the-shelf reports listed below fits your needs, you can request a bespoke report tailored to your needs, for as low as $2,900 USD!
Green BTX Production from Wood Chips
This report presents the economics of the production of a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) from wood chips. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States. First, the biomass is dried and crushed. Then, the wood sawdust undergoes catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) yielding an effluent syngas composed of aromatics, olefins and volatiles. BTX is finally separated from the other components.
Details: 20 kta United States-based plant | Q3 2021 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report BTX E11A target a 20 kta (kilometric tons per annun) 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.
BTX Production from Ethane
In this study, the process reviewed is a typical aromatization process producing a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) from ethane. In this analysis, ethane is first dehydrogenated to ethylene, which is oligomerized. The oligomers then cyclize to form naphthenes. They are finally dehydrogenated, yielding aromatics. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q3 2021 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report BTX E21A target a 400 kta (kilometric tons per annun) 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.
