Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Production Costs - Q2 2023
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (a.k.a. HPMC, Hypromellose) is a white/slightly off-white powder derived from alkali cellulose. It is an inert, viscoelastic polymer, widely available, with properties like film-forming capability, and biodegradability, extensively used in several industries.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose 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).
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Production
This report presents a feasibility analysis of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) production starting from cellulose, methyl chloride and propylene oxide. In this process, cellulose is alkalized with caustic soda and etherified first with propylene oxide and then with methyl chloride (dissolved in dimethyl ether), before passing through an etherification reaction. The plant is assumed to be located in the United States.
Details: 12 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report HPMC E11A target a 12 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.

Carrageenan Production
The report provides the economics of Carrageenan production starting from seaweed, using a batch extraction process in the presence of calcium hydroxide. In this process, seaweed is chopped and washed. Then, Carrageenan is batch extracted in the presence of calcium hydroxide into an aqueous solution. Carrageenan is then recovered from the solution, while the seaweed residue is removed by filtration. This analysis considers a United States-based facility.
Details: 2.50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Carrageenan E11A target a 2.50 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.
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Production
This report presents the economics of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose production, starting from cotton linter, employing monochloroacetic acid and caustic soda. In this process, cellulose is alkalized with caustic soda and then mixed with isopropanol and monochloroacetic acid, before passing through an etherification reaction. The analysis approaches a plant in the United States using a process similar to the one developed by Hoechst.
Details: 10 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report CMC E11A target a 10 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.
Phenethyl Alcohol Production
This report presents the economics of a typical Phenethyl Alcohol production process from benzene, ethylene oxide, and aluminum chloride in the United States via a Friedel-Crafts reaction. In the process, benzene and ethylene oxide reacts in the presence of Aluminum trichloride, producing an addition product, which is hydrolyzed to the Phenethyl Alcohol.
Details: 1 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Phenethyl Alcohol E11A target a 1 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.
