Acetaldehyde Production from Acetic Acid
Acetaldehyde Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Acetaldehyde production from acetic acid in the United States using a hydrogenation process over a palladium on iron oxide catalyst.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Acetaldehyde production and related Acetaldehyde production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Acetaldehyde production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Acetaldehyde plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Acetaldehyde plant operating costs (Opex).
The Acetaldehyde 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 Acetaldehyde 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 Acetaldehyde plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Reaction; (2) Acetaldehyde separation; and (3) acetic acid recovery.
Reaction. Initially, acetic acid and hydrogen are fed to a fixed-bed reactor where a hydrogenation reaction takes place, in the presence of an iron oxide/palladium catalyst.
Acetaldehyde separation. The reaction product, a gaseous stream containing Acetaldehyde and water, is fed to the absorber in which an acetic acid stream captures the hydrogenation products. The hydrogen is recycled, while the liquid stream is distilled for the separation of high-purity Acetaldehyde from reaction by-products.
Acetic acid recovery. This section comprises a series of distillation steps for the recovery of acetic unreacted acetic acid and reaction by-products. In a first distillation column, unreacted acetic acid is separated and recycled to the reaction session. In subsequent distillation steps, residual acetic acid is recovered and recycled, and ethyl acetate is recovered as by-product.
