Chloromethane Production Costs - Q4 2022
Chloromethane Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Chloromethane (a.k.a. Methyl Chloride) is an organic compound, in the haloalkane (halogenated hydrocarbons) class. It is a colorless gas, with sweet ethereal odor, soluble in water and most organic compounds. Along with other organic chlorine derivatives, such as dichloromethane and chloroform, Methyl Chloride plays an important role in both economic and industrial standpoints, with a variety of uses as chemical intermediates and solvents. Chloromethane was first produced in 1835, by reacting sodium chloride with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid, in a process that is not used industrially anymore. It was replaced by the hydrochlorination of methanol at the beginning of the twentieth century, which is still used today.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Chloromethane 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 (Q4 2022).
Methyl Chloride Production
This report presents the economics of Methyl Chloride production from methanol and hydrogen chloride. The economic analysis encompasses a plant located in the United States using a conventional industrial process where chloridric acid is combined with methanol in a reaction occurring in vapor phase over a catalyst bed.

Hydrogen Chloride Production from Hydrogen and Chlorine
This study analysis the economics of Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) production from hydrogen and chlorine in the United States. The process examined is a typical synthesis of Hydrogen Chloride via the direct reaction of the elements.
Details: 25 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report HCl E11A target a 25 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.
Hydrochloric Acid from NaCl and Sulfuric Acid (Reactor Furnace)
This report presents the economics of Hydrochloric Acid production from sodium chloride and sulfuric acid in the USA through a typical Mannheim process in which the reaction occurs in a reactor furnace. Initially, sulfuric acid reacts with sodium chloride producing hydrogen chloride and sodium sulfate, a by-product. Subsequently, the gas is absorbed in water and Hydrochloric Acid is obtained as the final product.
Details: 15 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report HCl E21A target a 15 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.
Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)
This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In this process, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of conventional steam reforming and secondary autothermal reforming. Then, the syngas is converted into Methanol.
