Vinyl Acetate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Vinyl Acetate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Vinyl Acetate (a.k.a. VAM, Vinyl Acetate Monomer, Ethenyl Acetate) is an organic compound, an important vinyl ester, used in the manufacture of many polymers and resins. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity smell, soluble in most organic solvents, but only slightly soluble in water. On an industrial scale, the dominant production route of Vinyl Acetate is based on the reaction of ethylene with acetic acid and oxygen in the gas phase on heterogeneous catalysts containing palladium.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Vinyl Acetate 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).
Vinyl Acetate Production from Acetic Acid and Ethylene
This study presents the economics of Vinyl Acetate production from acetic acid and ethylene in the United States, via a typical vapor-phase oxidation process. In this process, vapor acetic acid, ethylene and oxygen react in a catalytic multi-tube reactor, producing Vinyl Acetate, which is further purified.
Details: 350 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VAM E11A target a 350 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.
Vinyl Acetate Production from Acetic Acid and Acetylene
This feasibility study examines the economics of a process producing Vinyl Acetate from acetic acid and acetylene. In the process examined, acetic acid and acetylene react in the vapor phase in the presence of a supported metal catalyst to produce vinyl acetate. The economic analysis performed is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 180 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report VAM E21A target a 180 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.
