Report Abstract
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Phthalic Anhydride production and related Phthalic Anhydride production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Phthalic Anhydride production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Phthalic Anhydride plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Phthalic Anhydride plant operating costs (Opex).
The Phthalic Anhydride production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Phthalic Anhydride plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Phthalic Anhydride plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Phthalic Anhydride. Phthalic Anhydride is a crucial chemical used in the production of plasticizers, alkyd resins, and unsaturated polyester resins. These materials find applications in flexible PVC, coatings, and automotive components. Phthalic anhydride is produced by the oxidation of ortho-xylene or naphthalene. It is usually stored as a solid or molten liquid and transported to industries that require high-purity inputs for durable and flexible materials.
Raw Material
Orthoxylene. o-Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon primarily used as a feedstock in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is further used in the manufacture of plasticizers, dyes, and resins. It is typically derived from the distillation of crude oil or coal tar and is stored as a liquid. o-Xylene’s demand is tied to the growing plastics and coatings industries.
