Adiponitrile Production from Adipic Acid and Ammonia
Adiponitrile Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Adiponitrile production from adipic acid and ammonia. In the process examined, adipic acid is reacted with ammonia in the presence of a phosphoric acid based catalyst to generate adiponitrile. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Adiponitrile production and related Adiponitrile production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Adiponitrile production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Adiponitrile plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Adiponitrile plant operating costs (Opex).
The Adiponitrile 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 Adiponitrile 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 Adiponitrile 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
Adiponitrile. Adiponitrile is an organic compound used as a precursor to nylon 6,6, an important polymer for textiles, plastics, and automotive applications. Its role in producing high-strength materials is critical to multiple industries. Adiponitrile is synthesized through the electrochemical hydrodimerization of acrylonitrile and is stored as a liquid. Its importance in the production of durable, high-performance materials makes it a key industrial chemical.
Raw Materials
Ammonia. Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most produced synthetic chemicals worldwide. The main application of this world class commodity is in nitrogen fertilizers, followed by the synthesis of nitric acid. It is also used, to a lesser extent, in several other applications such as pulping of wood and as ingredient in household cleaners and drugs. Ammonia is produced basically by the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen, in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio. Its production routes are related to the source of the hydrogen used, being steam reforming the main one.
Adipic Acid. Adipic Acid is one of the most commercially important aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, produced on a very large scale at several locations worldwide.
