Calcium Carbide Production Costs - Q2 2023
Calcium Carbide Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Calcium Carbide (a.k.a. CaC2, Calcium Acetylide) is a colorless (in its pure form) and odorless inorganic compound. Commercial Calcium Carbide, however, may present a relatively wide range of colors depending on the impurities present (usually calcium, magnesium and other oxides).
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Calcium Carbide 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).
Calcium Carbide from Limestone (Electrothermic Process)
This report examines the costs related to Calcium Carbide production process from limestone and coke in the United States, using a typical electric arc furnace process. In the process, limestone is calcinated to lime, which reacts with coke in an electric arc furnace, producing calcium carbide.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Carbide E11A target a 80 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.
Calcium Carbide from Limestone (Oxy-Thermal Process)
This study approaches the economics of Calcium Carbide production from limestone and coke in the United States via a oxy-thermal process. This process is based on the combustion of the carbonaceous material with oxygen in the presence of lime (generated by calcination of limestone raw material).
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Carbide E12A target a 50 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.

Acetylene Production from Coal and Lime
This analysis presents the costs associated with the construction and operation of a plant located in the United States for Acetylene production from coal using a typical calcium carbide process. In the process depicted, calcium oxide (lime) is reduced by carbon in an electric furnace, generating calcium carbide, which is then hydrolyzed to produce Acetylene and calcium hydroxide.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Acetylene 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.
Calcium Carbonate Production from Limestone
This report presents the economics of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) production from limestone in the United States, via a typical process. Limestone is first calcinated. The product reacts with water producing calcium hydroxide, which is further carbonated with carbon dioxide from calcination to produce PCC.
