Chlorosilanes Production Costs - Q1 2022
Chlorosilanes Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Chlorosilanes are a group of reactive chemical compounds containing silicon bonded to up to four chlorine atoms, hydrogen, and/or alkyl groups. Chlorosilanes are used e.g. as coatings for silicon and glass surfaces. Among the Chlorosilanes, methylchlorosilanes (specially dimethyldichlorosilane) are of major importance, since they are the monomeric intermediates used for the production of silicones. These chemicals have one to three methyl groups; they are produced on commercial scale by the so-called direct process, based on the reaction of silicon with chloromethane at high temperatures, in the presence of copper catalysts.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Chlorosilanes 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 (Q1 2022).
Mixed Methylchlorosilanes Production
This report presents the economics of Mixed Methylchlorosilanes (mostly dimethyldichlorosilanes) production, starting from silicon and methyl chloride. The economic analysis approaches a plant located in the United States. In this process, methyl chloride and silicon powder are reacted in a fluidized bed reactor with copper catalyst, yielding the methylchlorosilanes.
Details: 180 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Chlorosilanes E11A target a 180 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.
Phenylchlorosilanes Production
This report presents a feasibility analysis of Phenylmethyldichlorosilanes production starting from benzene and methyldichlorosilanes. In this batch process, benzene and methyldichlorosilane are mixed with a boron trichloride solution - which works as catalyst for the reaction. The study assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 3 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Chlorosilanes E21A target a 3 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.
Vinylchlorosilanes Production
This report presents a techno-economic study of Vinylmethyldichlorosilane production using a conventional industrial process based on high temperature condensation of vinyl chloride with methyldichlorosilane. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 1.50 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Chlorosilanes E31A 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.
