This feasibility study presents the economics of Acetone production from isopropanol using a liquid phase dehydrogenation process. The economic analysis presented in the study assumes a plant located in the United States.

The report provides a comprehensive study of Acetone production and related Acetone production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Acetone production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Acetone plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Acetone plant operating costs (Opex).

The Acetone 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 Acetone 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 Acetone plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Acetone Production Cost Report Process Overview
Product

Acetone. Acetone, also known as 2-propanone, is the simplest ketone. It is used as solvent for a wide range of organic compounds (e.g. oils, fats, resins, waxes and gums). It is also used as feedstock for the production of several chemicals, such as methyl methacrylate, bisphenol A, and methyl isobutyl ketone. The main source of acetone is the process for phenol production from cumene, which generates acetone as by-product at an approximate ratio for 0.6 kg of acetone per kg of phenol. Industrial consumers of acetone usually receive shipments in large containers made of carbon steel, tank trucks made of stainless steel or aluminum, or rail tank cars made of carbon steel or aluminum. International shipments by sea are usually made in steel barges and amount at least 2,000 metric tons.

Raw Material

Isopropanol. Isopropanol is a widely used solvent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products. It is valued for its rapid evaporation and disinfectant properties, making it a key ingredient in hand sanitizers and surface cleaners. Isopropanol is produced by the hydration of propylene and is stored as a liquid. It is easy to transport and has become even more critical in the hygiene sector.
