Fiber-Grade Adipic Acid Production from Crude Adipic Acid
Adipic Acid Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of high-purity Adipic Acid production starting from a crude adipic acid stream from a conventional two-stage oxidation process (similar to Invista technology). The crude stream passes through a series of purification steps that include centrifugation, crystallization and drying. The process under analysis assumes a plant located in the United States.
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.

The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Adipic Acid Purification; and (2) Impurities Treatment.
Adipic Acid Purification. The solid crude Adipic Acid is mixed with process water in such a way that impurities present in the acid are dissolved and the resulting solution is submitted to crystallization. The slurry from crystallization then passes through a centrifuge and the product crystals are separated from mother liquor. The solid Adipic Acid is dried, yielding fiber-grade Adipic Acid.
Impurities Treatment. The impurities separated from crude Adipic Acid are sent to a distillation column, a vacuum crystallizer and a centrifuge to remove water from catalysts and acids. Finally, the solid product is diluted and passed through ion-exchange resins, for separation of catalysts residues (cooper and vanadium used in the cyclohexane two-stage oxidation plant for crude Adipic Acid production) and an aqueous stream, containing 50 wt% of dibasic acids (adipic, glutaric and succinic acids) is obtained as by-product.
