Maleic Anhydride Production Costs - Q2 2023
Maleic Anhydride Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Maleic Anhydride (a.k.a. MAN) is an organic compound, in the acid anhydride class. At room temperature, it is a white crystalline solid, with an acrid odor, soluble in water and in most organic solvents. MAN melts at 52.8ºC. It is a multifunctional chemical intermediate in several chemical routes.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Maleic Anhydride 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).
Maleic Anhydride from Butane (Fixed-Bed Reactor + Solvent-Based Recovery)
This feasibility study presents an analysis of Maleic Anhydride production from n-butane in the United States using a process similar to the one developed by Huntsman. In this process, maleic anhydride is produced by the partial oxidation reaction of n-butane with oxygen carried out in a fixed-bed reactor, using a vanadium–phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalyst supported on silica. The reactor effluent is directed to a solvent-based recovery system for Maleic Anhydride separation.

The cost analyses presented in the report MAN E11A target a 60 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.
Maleic Anhydride from Butane (Two Fixed-Bed Reactors + Aqueous-Based Recovery)
This study presents an economic analysis of Maleic Anhydride production from n-butane in the United States using a process similar to the one developed by Scientific Design. In this process, Maleic Anhydride is produced by the partial oxidation reaction of n-butane with oxygen carried out in two fixed-bed reactors, using vanadium–phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalyst supported on silica. The Maleic Anhydride formed is recovered in an aqueous-based system.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAN E12A target a 50 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.
Maleic Anhydride Production from Butane (Fluid Bed Reactor)
This report provides the economics of a process similar to CB&I Lummus ALMA for Maleic Anhydride production from n-butane in the United States. The process examined in this report uses a fluid bed reactor. In this case, the recovery system is solvent-based. This process is similar to Lummus ALMA.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAN E13A target a 80 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.
Maleic Anhydride Production from Benzene
This study provides a techno-economic analysis of a process for Maleic Anhydride production from benzene in the United States. This process highlights a benzene oxidation to maleic anhydride in a fixed-bed reactor combined with an aqueous-based recovery system.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAN E21A target a 80 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.
Maleic Anhydride Production from Butenes
This study reviews the economics of a process for Maleic Anhydride production from butenes. In the process examined, Maleic Anhydride is produced by the oxidation of n-butenes with air in a fluidized-bed reactor. The economic analysis performed is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 60 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAN E31A target a 60 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.
