Methyl Methacrylate Production Costs - Q4 2022
Methyl Methacrylate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Methyl Methacrylate (a.k.a. MMA) is an organic compound, in the ester class. It is a colorless volatile liquid, with fruity odor, slightly soluble in water, but soluble with most organic solvents. MMA began being commercially produced in 1933, after the discovery of the acetone cyanohydrin route. Since then, many methods of production have been attempted and used, especially since methyl methacrylate is the base monomer for the production of PMMA, a versatile and greatly manufactured plastic.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Methyl Methacrylate 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 (Q4 2022).
Methyl Methacrylate Production from Acetone, NH3 and Natural Gas
This report presents the economics of a process similar to Evonik Aveneer for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from acetone and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States. Initially, HCN is produced from ammonia (NH3) and natural gas in an on-site unit. Then, acetone and methanol are used as raw materials for the production of MMA in six main steps, which are described in the report.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MMA E11A target a 120 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.
Methyl Methacrylate Production from t-Butanol
This study reviews the economics of a process for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from t-Butanol. Initially, t-butanol is oxidized to metacrolein and then to methacrylic acid. Finally, the methacrylic acid undergoes esterification with methanol to generate MMA. The economic analysis performed is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MMA E21A target a 120 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.
Methyl Methacrylate Production from Isobutylene
This report presents the economics of an oxidation process similar to Sumitomo/ Nippon Shokubai process for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from isobutylene in the United States. Initially, isobutylene is oxidized to methacrolein, which is further oxidized to methacrylic acid (MAA). Then, MAA is esterified with methanol to produce MMA.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MMA E31A target a 120 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.
Methyl Methacrylate Production from Methacrylic Acid and Methanol
This report presents the economics of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) from Methacrylic Acid (MAA) and Methanol. In this process, MMA is produced through the esterification of MAA with methanol. The economic analysis assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MMA E41A target a 200 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.
Methyl Methacrylate Production from Acetone and Hydrogen Cyanide
This report presents the economics of a process similar to Evonik Aveneer for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from acetone and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States. Initially, HCN purchased from external suppliers, acetone and methanol are used as raw materials for the production of MMA in six main steps, which are described in the report.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report MMA E62A target a 120 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.
