Linear Alkylbenzene Production Costs - Q2 2023
Linear Alkylbenzene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Linear Alkylbenzene (a.k.a. LAB) refers to a group of organic compounds with a benzene "head" followed by a tail of linear chain with 10 to 16 carbons. LABs are obtained from n-paraffins and benzene. n-Paraffins are a product of jet kerosene hydrotreating, which are dehydrogenated to linear olefins, that are reacted with benzene in the presence of a catalyst, namely HF or AlCl3. LABs are a major raw material in the manufacture of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), the most used surfactant available for use in biodegradable household detergent formulations.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Linear Alkylbenzene 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).
Linear Alkylbenzene Production
This report presents the economics of a Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production process from C10-C13 n-paraffins and benzene in the United States, via a typical hydrogenation/alkylation process. In the process examined, the C10-C13 n-paraffins are dehydrogenated to their respectives olefins, which are further alkylated with benzene to produce LAB.

Benzene Production from Reformate
This report presents the economics of Benzene production from reformate in the United States using a typical sulfolane liquid-liquid extraction process. The solvents extracts first the aromatics from the reformate. The aromatics are then stripped and separated into benzene, toluene and mixed xylenes.
Details: 350 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Benzene E21A target a 350 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.
Benzene from Toluene (Hydrodealkylation with Methane Production)
This report presents the economics of Benzene production from toluene in the United States. The process reviewed in this study is a typical toluene hydrodealkylation (THDA) process. In this process, the alkyl group is removed from toluene by hydrogen in the form of methane, producing Benzene.
Details: 450 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Benzene E32A target a 450 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.
C4 to C18+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This feasibility study presents an economic analysis of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States. The process presented is similar to Shell Higher Olefins Process (SHOP) in which LAOs ranging from C4 to C18 are obtained. This process comprises three steps: oligomerization, isomerization and disproportionation.
Details: 425 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E11A target a 425 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.
