m-Xylene Production Costs - Q2 2023
m-Xylene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
m-Xylene (a.k.a. Metaxylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon and isomer of o-xylene and p-xylene, with methyl groups in the positions 1 and 3 of the benzene ring. A mixture of xylene isomers and ethylbenzene is produced by catalytic reforming of naphtha and toluene dispropornation. The m- isomer is recovered through crystallization or solvent extraction. m-Xylene is mainly used in the production of isophthalic acid, sophthalonitrile and xylidine. It is also employed as solvent in the paints and coatings industry, in the composition of insecticides and fungicides, and as aviation fuel.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining m-Xylene 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).
m-Xylene Production
This study presents an economic analysis for a process similar to UOP's Sorbex technology for m-Xylene recovery from mixed xylenes considering a plant located in the United States. In this process, m-Xylene is recovered from a mixture of C8 aromatics via an adsorptive separation.

BTX Production from Ethane
In this study, the process reviewed is a typical aromatization process producing a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) from ethane. In this analysis, ethane is first dehydrogenated to ethylene, which is oligomerized. The oligomers then cyclize to form naphthenes. They are finally dehydrogenated, yielding aromatics. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report BTX E21A 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.
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
