Methacrylic Acid Production Costs - Q2 2023
Methacrylic Acid Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Methacrylic Acid (a.k.a. MAA) is an organic compound in the carboxylic acid class, a viscous, colorless liquid, with an acrid unpleasant odor. MAA can be found naturally in chamomile oil, and its industrial production began in the 1930s. Currently, it is mainly used as a precursor to its esters, most notably methyl methacrylate (MMA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Methacrylic Acid 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).
Methacrylic Acid Production from Isobutylene
This report presents the economics of Methacrylic Acid production from isobutylene via a typical two-stage, gas-phase oxidation process via methacrolein as an intermediate. The economic analysis is based on the construction of a plant in the United States.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAA E11A 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.
Methacrylic Acid Production from Isobutane
This study provides the economics of Methacrylic Acid production starting from isobutane in the United States. Isobutane is first dehydrogenated to isobutylene in a process similar to UOP Oleflex. The isobutylene is then converted to Methacrylic Acid via a typical two-step oxidation process.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MAA E21A 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.
