Pyrantel Pamoate Production

Report Abstract

This report presents the economics of Pyrantel Pamoate production from 2-thiophene aldehyde in the United States. 3-Methylamine propylamine is first sent to a cyclization step before it is reacted with 2-thiophene aldehyde. Ethanol and citric acid are added to the reaction product, followed by the addition of a pamoic acid solution for recrystallization, obtaining pyrantel pamoate.

The report provides a comprehensive study of Pyrantel Pamoate production and related Pyrantel Pamoate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Pyrantel Pamoate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Pyrantel Pamoate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Pyrantel Pamoate plant operating costs (Opex).

The Pyrantel Pamoate 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 Pyrantel Pamoate 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 Pyrantel Pamoate plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
