Carboxymethyl Cellulose Production Costs - Q2 2023
Carboxymethyl Cellulose Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (a.k.a. CMC, Cellulose Gum) is an organic compound, a water soluble polymer, structurally similar to cellulose, with some carboxymethyl groups bound to some hydroxyl groups. It is the most important cellulose derivative in terms of sales volume. It is usually industrially commercialized as a sodium salt.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Carboxymethyl Cellulose 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).
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Production
This report presents the economics of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose production, starting from cotton linter, employing monochloroacetic acid and caustic soda. In this process, cellulose is alkalized with caustic soda and then mixed with isopropanol and monochloroacetic acid, before passing through an etherification reaction. The analysis approaches a plant in the United States using a process similar to the one developed by Hoechst.
Details: 10 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report CMC E11A target a 10 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.

Carrageenan Production
The report provides the economics of Carrageenan production starting from seaweed, using a batch extraction process in the presence of calcium hydroxide. In this process, seaweed is chopped and washed. Then, Carrageenan is batch extracted in the presence of calcium hydroxide into an aqueous solution. Carrageenan is then recovered from the solution, while the seaweed residue is removed by filtration. This analysis considers a United States-based facility.
Details: 2.50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Carrageenan 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.
Technical Grade Glycerol Production
This report presents the economics of a process for Technical Grade Glycerol production from crude glycerol in the United States. This treatment consists of pretreatment and vacuum distillation steps.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Glycerol E11A target a 120 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.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Production
This report presents a feasibility analysis of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) production starting from cellulose, methyl chloride and propylene oxide. In this process, cellulose is alkalized with caustic soda and etherified first with propylene oxide and then with methyl chloride (dissolved in dimethyl ether), before passing through an etherification reaction. The plant is assumed to be located in the United States.
