p-Xylene Production Costs - Q4 2022
p-Xylene Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
p-Xylene (a.k.a. Paraxylene, p-Xylol, 1,4-Dimethylbenzene) is the most important commercial isomer among the xylenes group (benzene derivates). It is a colorless watery liquid with sweet odor. The most important application of paraxylene is in the production of terephthalic acid and dimethyl terephthalate, widely used in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for ultimate use in fibers, films and resins.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining p-Xylene 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).
