Report Abstract
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Linear Alkylbenzene production and related Linear Alkylbenzene production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Linear Alkylbenzene production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Linear Alkylbenzene plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Linear Alkylbenzene plant operating costs (Opex).
The Linear Alkylbenzene production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Linear Alkylbenzene plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Linear Alkylbenzene plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Schematic
The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) olefins generation; (2) benzene alkylation; and (3) product purification.
Olefins generation. Linear paraffins are dehydrogenated to produce linear mono-olefins. The effluent is flashed, separating hydrogen gas generated from the liquid product. The hydrocarbons undergo a selective hydrogenation step to convert undersired diolefins back to mono-olefins. The hydrocarbon mixture proceeds to a stripping column for the removal of light fractions.
Benzene alkylation. After removal of light ends, the stream is passed through an aromatics adsorption system, finally resulting in a contaminant-free mono-olefins stream. The olefins are then mixed with benzene and fed to a reactor, where the alkylation reaction takes place to produce linear alkylbenzenes. The product stream proceeds to a series of distillation steps for purification.
Product purification. Four columns are employed in total. The first two distillation columns are responsible for recovering unreacted benzene and unconverted paraffins. The third column removes heavy aromatic components generated in alkylation, yielding LAB, while the fourth recovers the remaining LAB from the heavy aromatics fraction. The LAB stream is sent to storage area located outside battery limits while the heavies are burnt as fuel.
