Linear Alpha Olefins Production Costs - Q2 2023
Linear Alpha Olefins Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Linear Alpha Olefins (a.k.a. LAO, Normal Alpha Olefins, NAO) are hydrocarbons with a chemical formula CnH2n, characterized by linear chains and one double bond at the primary or alpha position. Such hydrocarbons are important chemical intermediates, widely used in several industrial and consumer products according to carbon number and by chemical structure.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Linear Alpha Olefins 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).
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.
C4 to C30+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This report provides the economics of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States. The process examined in this report produces LAOs ranging from C4 to C30+ using a process similar to Chevron Phillips process. Ethylene is initially submitted to oligomerization, and this reaction effluent is subjected to a transalkylation reaction.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E12A target a 400 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 C16+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This study presents a techno-economic analysis of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this report, a process similar to INEOS process is analyzed, producing linear alpha-olefins ranging from C4 to C16+, mainly C6 to C10. Ethylene oligomerization is carried out in a reaction with triethylaluminum produced on site, increasing the chain of the alkyls bonded aluminum.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E13A target a 400 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 C12+ Linear Alpha Olefins from Ethylene (Zirconium Catalyst)
This report presents the economics of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this case, C4 to C12+ linear alpha-olefins are obtained via a process similar to Alpha-SABLIN process (jointly developed by SABIC and Linde). This process employs a bubble-column type reactor in which a homogenous catalyst system is introduced together with a solvent.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E14A target a 400 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 C12+ Linear Alpha Olefins from Ethylene (Iron Complex Catalyst)
This report approaches an economic analysis of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. The process examined in this report produces C4 to C12+ linear alpha-olefins via ethylene oligomerization, following a process similar to DuPont Versipol process.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E15A target a 400 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.
C6 to C8 Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This report provides a feasibility study of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States using a process similar to Sasol Technology. In this process, ethylene is oligomerized to produce mainly C6 and C8 linear alpha-olefins.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E16A target a 400 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.
