Terephthalic Acid Production from p-Xylene

Cost Analysis Report | TPA E13A

Analysis Basis: United States | 2018 Q1 | 51 pages | Online Viewable Report Delivered in PDF Format

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis (based on 2017/18 economic data) 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.

The economic analysis provided in the report targets a United States-based plant and discloses:

All costs involved in starting a new industrial plant (capital investment):
- Cost of construction:
  - Main process units
  - Surrounding infrastructure
  - Contingency
- Additional owner’s costs
- Working capital
- Plant commissioning and start-up
All costs surrounding the production of Terephthalic Acid:
- Raw materials acquisition & utilities generation (manufacturing variable costs)
- Labor wages, maintenance, operating charges, overhead, taxes and insurance (manufacturing fixed costs)
- Administration, research and product distribution (corporate overhead costs)
Relevant technical coefficients:
- Raw materials consumption & products generation
- Labor requirements
Process block flow diagram
Description of the industrial plant:
- Main process units
- Site infrastructure
