Isononanol Production Costs - Q2 2023
Isononanol Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Isononanol (a.k.a. isononyl alcohol) is generally a mixture of aliphatic, branched alcohol isomers of molecular formula C9H20O. It is included in the group of plasticizer alcohols, which includes mostly branched aliphatic alcohols with chain length ranging from 6 to 13 carbons (e.g. 2-Ethylhexanol, the major plasticizer alcohol in the world). The mixture of Isononanol isomers usually includes methyloctanols, ethylheptanols and propylhexanols, as well as dimethylheptanols and trimethylhexanols. The presence and the amounts of each aforementioned compounds is dependent on the feed and catalyst employed in the production process.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Isononanol 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).
Isononanol Production from Octenes (Rhodium Catalyst)
This report presents an economic study of Isononanol production from octenes in the presence of a rhodium catalyst. It assumes a plant located in the United States using a process similar to Johnson Matthey OXO alcohols process. Initially, octenes are submitted to hydroformylation to form the respectives C9 aldehydes. The aldehydes are then hydrogenated to the corresponding C9 alcohols.
Details: 220 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isononanol E11A 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.
Isononanol Production from Octenes (Cobalt Catalyst)
In this report, the economics of Isononanol production from octenes is analyzed based on a typical cobalt catalyst process, assuming a plant located in the United States. Initially, octenes are submitted to hydroformylation to form the respectives C9 aldehydes. The aldehydes are then hydrogenated to the corresponding C9 alcohols.
