Propionic Acid Production Costs - Q2 2023
Propionic Acid Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Propionic Acid, also known as propanoic acid, is a carboxylic acid normally found in nature, mainly in the form of its esters in some essential oils. This fatty acid is also formed in a number of enzymatic and fermentation processes. Widely used in the production of cellulose esters, plastic dispersions and herbicides, Propionic Acid has gained importance over the past years for applications related to preservation of forage cereals and animal feeds.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Propionic Acid 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).
Propionic Acid Production from Ethylene
This report presents the economic analysis of Propionic Acid production from ethylene. In this process, ethylene undergoes a hydroformylation reaction to produce propionaldehyde, which is oxidized to Propionic Acid product. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 111 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PA E11A target a 80 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.
Propionic Acid Production from Propionaldehyde
This report presents the economic analysis of Propionic Acid production from propionaldehyde (i.e. propanal). In this process, propionaldehyde is subjected to a oxidation reaction that generates Propionic Acid product. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PA E21A target a 80 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.

Ethylene Production from Ethane
This report presents the economics of Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from ethane in the United States. In the process under analysis, ethane is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces through the use of steam, yielding Ethylene. A hydrogen-rich gas is generated as by-product.
Details: 1,200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Ethylene E11A target a 1,200 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.
Ethylene from Ethanol (Similar to Chematur Process)
This report provides the economics of Green Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from hydrous ethanol in the United States using a dehydration process examined in this report is similar to the processes developed by Chematur and Petron. In this process, the reaction is carried out multiple reactors in series and a single furnace.
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Ethylene E82A target a 300 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.
