Isobutylene Production Costs - Q2 2023
Isobutylene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Isobutylene (a.k.a. Isobutene) is one of the butylene isomers, a group of four-carbon olefins. The carbon-carbon double bond controls the chemistry of this group, acting as a substitute, and affecting the reactivity of the carbon atoms at the alpha positions through the formation of the allylic resonance structure. This structure can stabilize both positive and negative charges. Thus allylic carbons are more reactive to substitution and addition reactions than alkane carbons. As a consequence, Isobutylene is used as an intermediate in the production of MTBE, ETBE, isooctane, and methacrolein. Polymerization of Isobutylene produces butyl rubber.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Isobutylene 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).
Isobutylene Production from Crude C4s
This study presents the economics of Isobutylene production from a crude C4s stream in the United States., using an extraction process similar to Total Isobutylene Acid Extraction process. In this process, sulfuric acid reacts with isobutylene to form an alcohol that is separated from the crude C4 raw material and, through a dehydration step, isobutylene is recovered.
Details: 60 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isobutylene E11A 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.
Isobutylene from Isobutane (Platinum-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation)
It presents the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the United States, using a dehydrogenation process similar to UOP Oleflex. This technology uses a proprietary platinum dehydrogenation catalyst in a moving-bed reactor.
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isobutylene E12A target a 300 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.
Isobutylene from Isobutane (Chromium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation)
This report presents the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the United States. The process examined is a dehydrogenation process similar to Lummus CATOFIN. This technology uses a proprietary chromium dehydrogenation catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isobutylene E13A 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.
Isobutylene from Isobutane (Steam Reforming and Oxyreaction)
This report analyses the economics of Isobutylene production from isobutane in the USA. The process examined is a dehydrogenation process similar to Uhde STAR. Initially, isobutane undergoes steam reforming, which is followed by oxyreaction, yielding isobutylene.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isobutylene E14A 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.
