Titanium Butoxide Production

Report Abstract

This report presents the economics of a typical Titanium Butoxide production process from butyl alcohol, titanium tetrachloride, and ammonia in the United States. In this reaction, titanium tetrachloride is added to the butyl alcohol, yielding titanium butoxide and hydrochloric acid, which is then neutralized with ammonia to generate ammonium chloride.

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

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