Report Abstract
This report analyses the economics of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) production from linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and sulfur in the United States, via a conventional sulfonation process. In this process, elemental sulfur is burned, yielding sulfur dioxide, which is then oxidated with dry air to produce sulfur trioxide, the sulfonating agent. The primary product is the para-alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, which is further neutralized.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate production and related Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate plant operating costs (Opex).
The Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate 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 Sulfonate 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 Sulfonate 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) SO3 generation; (2) sulfonation; and (3) neutralization.
SO3 generation. Air is taken from the atmosphere, dried, and fed with liquid sulfur to a furnace, where the sulfur is burned, generating SO2. The stream is then sent to a catalytic converter to generate SO3 and proceeds to sulfonation.
Sulfonation. Linear alkylbenzene, along with the mixture of sulfur trioxide gas in dry air, is fed to a falling film reactor where the LAB rapidly reacts with two molecules of SO3 to form an adduct. Subsequently, the adduct is rearranged forming LABSA in an aging vessel, completing the sulfonation.
Finishing. The LABSA is then neutralized by a 50% caustic soda solution, originating a uniform concentrated paste composed of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate.
