11-Aminoundecanoic Acid Production
11-Aminoundecanoic Acid Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid production from castor oil in the United States. This process is similar to the one developed by Arkema. Initially, the crude castor oil is transesterified with methanol, forming methyl ricinoleate. This ester is cracked in a furnace, generating methyl undecenoic acid. The acid is then hydrolyzed to undecenoic acid, which finally undergoes bromination and amination to yield 11-aminoundecenoic acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid production and related 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid 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 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid 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 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Product
11-Aminoundecanoic Acid. 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid is the monomer used in the production of nylon-11 (also known as polyamide 11 or PA11). 11-Aminoundecanoic Acid is produced from castor oil, which is a vegetable oil. Also, it is a white and odourless solid that is classified as an amine and a fatty acid, and has a low solubility in water.
Raw Material
Castor Oil. Castor oil is a vegetable oil used in lubricants, coatings, and as a raw material for biodiesel and polymers. It contains ricinoleic acid, which imparts unique chemical properties. Extracted from castor beans, it is stored as a viscous liquid. Its hydroxyl functionality allows for the synthesis of polyurethanes and other specialized materials.
