Hexene Production Costs - Q2 2023
Hexene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Hexene (a.k.a. Hexenes) refers to a group of alkene isomers with molecular formula C6H12. The most important Hexene is 1-Hexene, which is largely employed as a comonomer in the production of polymers. 1-Hexene is a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum like odor, soluble in most organic solvents but insoluble in water. Hexenes, excluding 1-Hexene, are produced from the dehydration of their respective hexanol. Obtained mainly by wax cracking in the past, currently, 1-Hexene is most commonly manufactured via ethylene oligomerization.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Hexene 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).
1-Hexene Production from Ethylene
This report presents the economics of an industrial process for 1-Hexene production from ethylene, assuming a trimerization process similar to the one owned by Chevron Philips. The economic analysis is based on a plant operating in the United States.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Hexene E11A target a 200 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.
1-Hexene Production from Synfuels
In this report, it is approached the economics of 1-Hexene production via extractive distillation from synthetic fuels (synfuels), using an industrial process similar to the technology owned by Sasol. The economic analysis assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 220 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Hexene E21A target a 220 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.
1-Hexene Production from Raffinate-2
This analysis approaches the economics of 1-Hexene production from raffinate-2, based on a process similar to the CPT Process licensed by Lummus. Initially, 2-butene from raffinate-2 is isomerized to 1-butene. Then, 1-butene is reacted with itself to form 3-hexene and ethylene. The 3-hexene is finally isomerized to 1-hexene. The analysis considers a facility erected in the United States.
Details: 60 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Hexene E31A target a 60 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.
