Propylene Oxide Production Costs - Q1 2022
Propylene Oxide Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Propylene Oxide (a.k.a. PO, Epoxypropane, Methyl Oxirane) is a synthetic, highly-flammable, volatile, colorless liquid with ethereal odor that is soluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. This organic, highly reactive compound is a major commodity chemical, as well as starting material for several products, from polymers and solvents to industrial fluids.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Propylene Oxide 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 (Q1 2022).
Propylene Oxide Production from Propylene and Chlorine
This report presents the economics of Propylene Oxide (PO) production from chemical grade (CG) propylene and chlorine in the United States. In the process under analysis, propylene and chlorine react, yielding chlorohydrin intermediate, which is then dehydrochlorinated to produce PO. Dichloropropane is generated as by-product.

Propylene Oxide from Propylene and Hydrogen (Indirect Oxidation)
This report analyses the economics of Propylene Oxide (PO) production from polymer grade (PG) propylene and hydrogen in the United States. The process used is a direct epoxidation similar to AIST/Nippon Shokubai process. Initially, hydrogen is directy oxidized with oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. The peroxide converts propylene into propylene oxide.
