Carbon Fiber Production Costs - Q2 2023
Carbon Fiber Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Carbon Fiber (a.k.a. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, CFRP) is a fiber containing at least 90% carbon by weight, obtained by pyrolysis of an appropriate precursor fiber. It is a fiber used as yarns, felt, or powder like short monofilaments with diameters smaller than 10 micrometers, consisting of at least 92 wt% carbon. They are mainly applied to reinforce polymers, in the same manner that glass fibers, but presenting superior stiffness, combined with high strength and low density.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Carbon Fiber 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).
Carbon Fiber Production from PAN Fiber
This report provides a techno-economic analysis of a typical Carbon Fiber production process starting from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber in the United States. In this process, PAN fiber is first stabilized. The stabilized PAN passes then through carbonization, surface treatment and sizing, before being winded.
Details: 2.50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Carbon Fiber E11A target a 2.50 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.
Carbon Fiber Production from Pitch
This report presents a feasibility study of a process for Carbon Fiber production from petroleum pitch in the United States. The process starts with a preparation step that converts the pitch into mesophase pitch. The mesophase pitch is then stabilized and passes through carbonization, graphitization, surface treatment and sizing, before being wound.
Details: 1.50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Carbon Fiber E21A target a 1.50 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.
