Methyl Ester Sulfonate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Methyl Ester Sulfonate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Methyl Ester Sulfonate (a.k.a. MES) is a group of anionic surfactants also known as alpha-sulfo fatty acid esters. MES are derived from renewable resources, such as natural fats and oils. As a surface-active agent, MES can reduce interfacial tension between water and oil; when placed in an oil-water mixture, this chemical arranges itself in such a way that the hydrophilic part of its molecules remains towards water while the lipophilic parts towards oil.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Methyl Ester Sulfonate 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).
Methyl Ester Sulfonate Production
This study presents a feasibility analysis of Methyl Ester Sulfonate production from palm oil in the United States. This process is comprised of two steps: initially, methyl ester is formed from palm oil and methanol via transesterification. Then, the methyl ester is sulfonated to final product generation.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MES E11A target a 100 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.

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate Production from LAB and Oleum
This report presents the economics of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) production from linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and oleum (10-25% sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid) in the United States, via a conventional sulfonation process. Sulfur trioxide is the sulfonating agent and the primary product is the para-alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, which is further neutralized.
Details: 15 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAS E11A target a 15 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.
Methanol Production from Syngas
This report presents a techno-economic study of Methanol production from synthesis gas (syngas) in the United States. In this process, MMethanol is synthesized from syngas in a dual reactor system, which consists in an isothermal reactor combined in series with a gas-cooled reactor.
Details: 1,600 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Methanol E21A target a 1,600 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.
