Nitric Acid Production Cost | Q2 2024

Updated Reports Examining Nitric Acid Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Nitric Acid production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Nitric Acid production process and related Nitric Acid production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the Nitric Acid production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related Nitric Acid plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective Nitric Acid plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

Weak Nitric Acid from Ammonia (Medium Pressure Process)

This report analyzes the economics of Nitric Acid production from ammonia via a typical Medium Pressure process in the United States. In this process, ammonia is initially oxidized to nitric oxide. Then, nitric oxide is oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide, and absorbed (at the same pressure) by water producing 65 wt% Nitric Acid solution as the final product.

Details: 250 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 250 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Weak Nitric Acid from Ammonia (High Pressure Process)

This report targets Weak Nitric Acid (65 wt%) production in the United States. Initially, ammonia is oxidized to nitric oxide. Then, nitric oxide is oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide, and absorbed at the same pressure by water producing 65 wt% Nitric Acid. The whole process examined in this study occurs at a high monopressure.

Details: 200 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 200 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Weak Nitric Acid from Ammonia (Dual Pressure Process)

In this report, it is approached the economics of Weak Nitric Acid (65 wt%) production from ammonia in a typical dual pressure process, assuming an industrial plant located in the United States. Initially, ammonia is oxidized to nitric oxide at medium pressure. Then, nitric oxide is oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide, and absorbed at high pressure by water producing nitric acid.

Details: 250 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 250 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Concentrated Nitric Acid Production from Ammonia

In this report, the economic analysis concerns Concentrated Nitric Acid (99 wt%) production via two integrated units located in the United States. Initially, a typical Medium Pressure process produces weak nitric acid by ammonia oxidation and nitric oxide absorption; then nitric acid is concentrated by extractive distillation using sulfuric acid as dehydrating agent.

Details: 200 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 200 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.

Concentrated Nitric Acid Production from Weak Nitric Acid

This study presents a feasibility analysis of Concentrated Nitric Acid (99 wt%) production from weak nitric acid (65 wt%) by extractive distillation using sulfuric acid as dehydrating agent. The economic analysis assumes a plant constructed in the United States.

Details: 250 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 250 kta (kilo metric ton per annum 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.
