Adipic Acid Production from Benzene (Cyclohexene Intermediate)
Adipic Acid Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Adipic Acid production from benzene in the United States using a two-stage oxidation process similar to Asahi Kasei process. In this process, benzene is partially hydrogenated to cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is then hydrated to produce cyclohexanol. The alcohol generated is finally oxidized to produce adipic acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Adipic Acid production and related Adipic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Adipic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Adipic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Adipic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Adipic 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 Adipic 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 Adipic 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
Adipic Acid. Adipic Acid is one of the most commercially important aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, produced on a very large scale at several locations worldwide.
Raw Material
Benzene. Benzene (C6H6) is a flammable and volatile liquid. As the most simple aromatic hydrocarbon, it is used as an intermediate to produce many important chemicals, such as styrene (raw material for polystyrene and synthetic rubber), cyclohexane (used in nylon production), alkylbenzenes (used in detergent industry), aniline (used to produce dyes and polyurethanes), and chlorobenzenes. Also, benzene is used to produce pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, plastics, and pesticides. It occurs naturally in crude oil and coal tar.
