Report Abstract
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Propionic Acid production and related Propionic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Propionic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Propionic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Propionic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Propionic Acid 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 Propionic Acid 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 Propionic Acid 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
Propionic Acid. 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.
Raw Material
Propionaldehyde. Propionaldehyde is an aldehyde used as an intermediate in the production of plastics, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Its reactivity makes it a versatile building block for a variety of chemical syntheses. Propionaldehyde is produced via the hydroformylation of ethylene and is stored as a liquid. Its strong solvent properties also make it useful in coatings and as a precursor to more complex organic compounds, such as propionic acid and alkyl resins.
