Terephthalic Acid Production Costs - Q2 2023
Terephthalic Acid Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Terephthalic Acid (a.k.a. TPA) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid carrying carboxy groups at positions 1 and 4. It found as a white and crystalline powder. It is an important monomer in the production of high impact resistance, thermal stability and weather resistance resins such as the polyesters PET and PBT.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Terephthalic 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).
Medium-Purity Terephthalic Acid Production
This report presents the economics of Medium-Purity Terephthalic Acid (MTA) production. The analysis is based on a plant located in the United States starting from p-xylene using a typical catalytic oxidation process. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to terephthalic acid (TPA). Then, the TPA is crystallized and recovered from the liquor and MTA is obtained as the final product.
Details: 750 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report TPA E11A target a 750 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.
Purified Terephthalic Acid from p-Xylene (Conventional Process)
This study presents the economics of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production using p-xylene as the process feedstock. The study approaches the construction of a plant in the United States employing a conventional catalytic oxidation process. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to terephthalic acid (TPA). The TPA is subjected to separation and drying steps, and then sent to hydrogenation to obtain PTA as the final product.
Details: 700 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report TPA E12A target a 700 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.
Purified Terephthalic Acid from p-Xylene (BP Technology)
This assessment presents the economics of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The economic analysis is based in a plant located in the United States. The process examined in this report is similar to BP X Technology. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to terephthalic acid, which is hydrogenated to obtain PTA. Drying and storage of crude terephthalic acid is not necessary.
Details: 700 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report TPA E13A target a 700 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.
Purified Terephthalic Acid from p-Xylene (GTC Technology)
This analysis presents production cost of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The process examined in this report is similar to that one developed by GTC Technology. Differently from the conventional technology, this process does not involve a hydrogenation step for Terephthalic Acid purification after oxidation. The economic analysis assumes a plant located in the USA..
Details: 750 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report TPA E14A target a 750 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.
