Polyalphaolefin Production Costs - Q2 2023
Polyalphaolefin Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Polyalphaolefin (a.k.a. PAO) are oligomers made by oligomerization alpha olefins, usually 1-decene or a mixture of alpha olefins containing, in general, a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve carbon atoms. This process results in products with a high viscosity index (VI), ranging from 100 up to 1,000, excellent low-temperature flow and pour-point characteristics, good oxidation stability and compatibility with mineral oils, paints and seals. However, these products have poor fire resistance and biodegradability. PAOs are used in several synthetic products, such as greases, lubricants, fluids, and have emerged as crucial components in many applications and industries.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Polyalphaolefin 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).
UHVI Polyalphaolefins Production
This report assesses the economics of industrial Ultra High Viscosity Index (UHVI) Polyalphaolefins (PAO) production, assuming a plant located in the United States.

C4 to C18+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This feasibility study presents an economic analysis of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) production from ethylene in the United States. The process presented is similar to Shell Higher Olefins Process (SHOP) in which LAOs ranging from C4 to C18 are obtained. This process comprises three steps: oligomerization, isomerization and disproportionation.
Details: 425 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E11A target a 425 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.
C4 to C16+ Linear Alpha Olefins Production
This study presents a techno-economic analysis of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this report, a process similar to INEOS process is analyzed, producing linear alpha-olefins ranging from C4 to C16+, mainly C6 to C10. Ethylene oligomerization is carried out in a reaction with triethylaluminum produced on site, increasing the chain of the alkyls bonded aluminum.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E13A target a 400 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.
C4 to C12+ Linear Alpha Olefins from Ethylene (Zirconium Catalyst)
This report presents the economics of LAO production from ethylene in the United States. In this case, C4 to C12+ linear alpha-olefins are obtained via a process similar to Alpha-SABLIN process (jointly developed by SABIC and Linde). This process employs a bubble-column type reactor in which a homogenous catalyst system is introduced together with a solvent.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report LAO E14A target a 400 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.
