Isophthalic Acid Production Costs - Q2 2023
Isophthalic Acid Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Isophthalic Acid (a.k.a. PIA) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, isomer of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid. It appears as a stable, intractable solid with low solubility in most solvents. PIA is manufactured by oxidation of m-xylene , using a cobalt-manganese catalyst. It is used as precursor to commercially important polymers, in the production of resins for drink plastic bottles, in the high-performance polymer polybenzimidazole production process, and as an important input to produce insulation materials.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Isophthalic Acid 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).
Purified Isophthalic Acid Production
This feasibility study provides the costs associated with the construction of a plant in the United States for the production of Isophthalic Acid (IPA) from m-xylene using a typical liquid-phase oxidation process. The process targeted in this report comprises m-xylene oxidation, crude Isophthalic Acid recovery and further purification via hydrogenation for obtaining Purified Isophthalic Acid.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report IPA E11A target a 120 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.
Crude Isophthalic Acid Production
This study concerns Isophthalic Acid production from m-xylene using a typical liquid-phase oxidation process. This report comprises m-xylene oxidation and crude Isophthalic Acid recovery, but does not include a section for Isophthalic Acid purification via hydrogenation. Crude Isophthalic Acid is the end-product of this process.
