Propylene Glycol Production Costs - Q2 2023
Propylene Glycol Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Propylene Glycol (a.k.a. Propane-1,2-diol) is a clear, colorless, non-corrosive but strongly hygroscopic difunctional alcohol, in such a way that it must be protected from exposures to the atmosphere. Unique among the glycols, propylene glycol has low toxicity to humans. It was first manufactured in 1859 by the hydrolysis of propylene glycol diacetate, but it wasn’t until 1931 that it was first commercialized and used as a substitute for glycerol in pharmaceuticals.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Propylene Glycol 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).
Propylene Glycol Production from Glycerol (Liquid-Phase Process)
This study presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from glycerol using a liquid-phase process similar to Suppes process in the United States. In this process, glycerol is submitted to hydrogenation, yielding propylene glycol.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Propylene Glycol 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.
Propylene Glycol Production from Glycerol (Vapor-Phase Process)
This report presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from glycerol in the United States. The process presented occurs in vapor-phase, similarly to Davy Technologies process.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Propylene Glycol E12A 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.
Propylene Glycol from Chlorine and Propylene
This report presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from chlorine and chemical grade (CG) propylene in the United States, via a typical hydration process. In this process, chlorine, propylene and water are combined to make propylene chlorohydrin, which reacts with inorganic base to yield the oxide. The oxide is then hydrolyzed to propylene glycol.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Propylene Glycol E21A target a 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.
Propylene Glycol from Propylene Oxide
This report analyses the economics of Propylene Glycol production from propylene oxide in the United States, via a typical hydration process. In this analysis, propylene oxide is hydrolyzed to propylene glycol. Dipropylene glycol is produced as by-product.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Propylene Glycol E31A target a 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.
