Terephthalic Acid
Terephthalic Acid Production from p-Xylene
(1) EP Patent 1054855, issued to BP Amoco in 2000 (2) US Patent 20150166452, issued to BP in 2015

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The process examined is similar to BP X Technology. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to Terephthalic Acid. The Terephthalic Acid from reaction is separated as a Crude Terephthalic Acid (CTA) intermediate. The CTA is subjected to hydrogenation and PTA is obtained as the final product. The drying and storage of the CTA intermediate is not necessary in this process.

TPA E13A
This assessment also presents the economics of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The economic analysis is also based in a plant located in the USA. However, differently from the report "TPA E12A", the process examined in this report is similar to BP X Technology. In this process, drying and storage of the CTA intermediate is not necessary. The CTA wet cake is directly subjected to a hydrogenation step and PTA is obtained as the final product.

This report presents a cost analysis of a United States-based industrial plant. You can add an extra cost analysis, for another plant location (country), during the order process.

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The process examined is similar to BP X Technology. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to Terephthalic Acid. The Terephthalic Acid from reaction is separated as a Crude Terephthalic Acid (CTA) intermediate. The CTA is subjected to hydrogenation and PTA is obtained as the final product. The drying and storage of the CTA intermediate is not necessary in this process.

This report, TPA E13A, is a best-in-class examination of Terephthalic Acid production, providing in-depth, comprehensive techno-economic analysis of the production technology examined, including:

  • Process Description: raw materials and utilities consumption, products generation, labor requirements, list of equipment, characterization of site infrastructure, process flow diagram (PFD).
  • Capital Cost Analysis: costs of plant construction, working capital, owners' costs, commissioning, start-up and contingency.
  • Operating Cost Analysis: variable costs, fixed costs (salary, benefits & maintenance) and corporate overhead costs.
  • And much more . . .

What are the differences among the basic, extended and advanced versions of Intratec reports?

Each Intratec report targets a specific production process, and is available in three different versions: basic, extended and advanced.

The basic version describes the industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs.

For those needing more in-depth, comprehensive analyses, Intratec offers the extended and the advanced versions.

The extended version includes everything of the basic version plus an extra appendix, in which it is presented the following analyses: Economics of Different Capacities; Utilities Consumption Breakdown; Construction Implementation Schedule.

Finally, the advanced version includes everything of the extended version plus another extra appendix, in which it is presented: Process Unit Cost Breakdown per Equipment; Infrastructure Cost Breakdown per Equipment; Plant Construction Cost Breakdown per Discipline; Process Flow Diagrams.

Can I purchase just a chapter or an appendix of a report?

Please keep in mind that significant portions of our reports are intended to fully explain concepts/assumptions utilized throughout the study; thus the content of all chapters/appendixes often reference one another.

That being the case, Intratec only sells reports in the three aforementioned versions, basic, advanced and extended. We do not sell report excerpts.

If I purchase a basic version of a report, can I upgrade it to another version later?

Yes, within 2 months after you purchase the report, you can order an upgrade! Just contact sales@intratec.us to request the upgrade. We will then send you a direct link to that custom order, through which you will be able to conclude the purchase.

Do you sell reports without being updated? Can I purchase out-of-date reports from the reports store?

Intratec's policy is to always provide its customers with relevant and up-to-date Production Cost Reports, which serve as timely and well-founded cost analyses. Therefore, once a customer orders a report, the Intratec team reviews and refreshes market figures and techno-economic parameters presented in that report before delivering it. This way we ensure that our customers will always have up-to-date reports, reviewed in light of relevant references that eventually popped up since the report was first developed.

In this context, kindly note that Intratec does not sell out-of-date reports.

If I order a report, will I be able to obtain answers to questions I may have about it?

Customers interested in having questions answered must order advanced versions of reports, which includes Technical Support via email. The support provided refers exclusively to the content of the report purchased. Responses are provided in 3 business days.

How are Intratec reports delivered?

Intratec reports can be delivered in three formats: as online PDFs; as downloadable, non-printable PDFs; and as downloadable, printable PDFs. The delivery format is according to the version of the report: Basic Versions are delivered as online PDFs, Extended Versions are delivered as downloadable, non-printable PDFs and Advanced Versions are delivered as downloadable, printable PDFs.

After Intratec team updates a report ordered, it is made available either for online access or for download in a private area at Intratec website. Reports delivered as online viewable reports will be accessible for 365 days after report delivery, in a private area at Intratec website.

I need an economic analysis, like the one presented in the report, but for another plant location… could you provide me that?

Yes! For each report, Intratec Offers an optional analysis called "Cost Analysis in Another Location" Intratec offers, for each report, an optional analysis called “Cost Analysis in Another Location”, which presents capital and operating costs of an industrial plant identical to the one discussed in the report but located in a country selected by you.

This optional analysis has the same structure of the report (chapters include Capital Investment, Operating Costs, and Process Economics Summary). The costs presented in US dollars (with the assumed exchange rate for local currency).

You can select this option when you order any report.

Can I share Intratec reports?

The sharing of Intratec Report and its content is according to the version of the report, as follows:

The customer who purchased a Basic Version is allowed to share it exclusively with co-workers from the same institution or corporation, who also work at the same country.

An Extended Version may be shared with co-workers from the same institution or corporation, worldwide.

Finally, an Advanced Version may be shared with up to five third parties, provided that such sharing complies with all the conditions presented at Report Sharing Terms
