Phthalic Anhydride Production Costs - Q2 2023
Phthalic Anhydride Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Phthalic Anhydride (a.k.a. PHTAN) is the anhydride of phthalic acid. It was the first anhydride to be used commercially. It appears as a colorless or white solid in the form of needles or platelets and it has a characteristic odor, being toxic if inhaled. When mixed with water, if forms a corrosive solution. It is mainly used to produce plasticizers.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Phthalic Anhydride 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).
Phthalic Anhydride Production from o-Xylene (Conventional Process)
This report presents the economics of Phthalic Anhydride production from o-xylene based on a conventional vapor phase oxidation. The economic analysis presented assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHTAN 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.
Phthalic Anhydride Production from o-Xylene (Low Air Ratio Process)
This report presents the economics of Phthalic Anhydride production from o-xylene based on a conventional vapor phase oxidation. This report is based on a Low Air Ratio (LAR) process, in which the amount of air supplied to oxidation reaction is reduced to air/o-xylene weight ratio of 9.5:1. The economic analysis presented assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHTAN E12A 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.
Phthalic Anhydride Production from Naphthalene
This feasibility study examines the economics of a process producing Phthalic Anhydride from naphthalene. In the process examined naphthalene is oxidized by air in a fluidized bed reactor. The economic analysis performed is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHTAN E21A 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.
