Acetic Acid Production from Acetaldehyde
Acetic Acid Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Acetic Acid production from acetaldehyde in the United States. In this process, acetaldehyde is oxidized in liquid phase to acetic acid with manganous acetate as catalyst.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Acetic Acid production and related Acetic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Acetic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Acetic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Acetic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Acetic 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 Acetic 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 Acetic 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
Acetic Acid. Acetic acid (also known as ethanoic acid, hydrogen acetate) is a carboxylic acid found in dilute solutions in plant and animal systems. This chemical is widely used in organic processes, primarily in the production of polymers derived from vinyl acetate, used in paints and coatings, cellulose used to produce acetate fibers, and as solvent. While 2–12 wt% acetic acid solutions, usually called vinegar, have long been produced by ethanol fermentation, nowadays the commercial production of acetic acid is mainly based on methanol carbonylation and liquid-phase oxidation of n-butane.
Raw Material
Acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde (also known as ethanal) is an important aldehyde, mainly used as chemical intermediate in the production of acetic acid, paracetic acid and pyridine basis.
