Dimethyl Terephthalate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Dimethyl Terephthalate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Dimethyl Terephthalate (a.k.a. DMT) is an organic compound, in the aromatic ester class, specifically classified as a diester. It is a white salt, with faint ester odor, insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. It began to be industrially produced in the end of the 1960s, due to the difficulty of purifying terephthalic acid to produce fibers.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Dimethyl Terephthalate 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).
Dimethyl Terephthalate from p-Xylene and Methanol
This report examines the costs related to Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) production from p-xylene and methanol in the United States, via typical oxidation and esterification processes. In this process, operations theoretically take place in alternate oxidation and esterification (with methanol) phases. P-xylene is oxidized to p-toluic acid, which is converted to p-methyl toluate, then to methyl terephthalate and ,finally, to DMT.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report DMT E11A target a 100 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.
Dimethyl Terephthalate from Toluene and Methanol
It presents the economics of Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) production from toluene and methanol in a plant located in the United States. Toluene is converted to p-xylene via a catalytic disproportionation process similar to ExxonMobil PxMax. The p-xylene is oxidized to p-toluic acid, which is esterified with methanol to generate DMT.
