Report Abstract
This report approaches the production of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) from acrylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. The process examined is similar to the Synthomer's 2-EHA Process. In this process acrylic acid and n-butanol are directly converted to 2-EHA via an esterification reaction catalyzed by p-Toluene Sulfonic Acid. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Ethylhexyl Acrylate production and related Ethylhexyl Acrylate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Ethylhexyl Acrylate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Ethylhexyl Acrylate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Ethylhexyl Acrylate plant operating costs (Opex).
The Ethylhexyl Acrylate production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Ethylhexyl Acrylate plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Ethylhexyl Acrylate plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Schematic
The process under analysis comprises two main sections: esterification and purification.
Esterification. Acrylic acid is initially reacted with 2-Ethylhexanol to produce 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate in the presence of para-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The esterification reactor is connected to an azeotropic distillation system for continuous removal of water from the reactor medium, improving reaction kinetics and shifting the reaction toward ester formation.
Purification. After the esterification, the reactor’s bottom product is passed through an extraction column, where PTSA catalyst is extracted with process water. Extracted catalyst is recycled to the esterification area, while a crude ester stream is distilled for the recovery of unreacted 2-ethylhexanol that is recycled to the esterification reaction. A final distillation removes the impurities from the product, yielding 99.5% pure 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate.
