Allyl Alcohol Production
Allyl Alcohol Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Allyl Alcohol production from propylene in the United States using a process similar to Showa Denko process. Initially, propylene is reacted with acetic acid and oxygen, producing allyl acetate. The allyl acetate is then hydrolyzed, yielding allyl alcohol and regenerating acetic acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Allyl Alcohol production and related Allyl Alcohol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Allyl Alcohol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Allyl Alcohol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Allyl Alcohol plant operating costs (Opex).
The Allyl Alcohol 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 Allyl Alcohol 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 Allyl Alcohol 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
Allyl Alcohol. Allyl Alcohol (a.k.a. 3-Propenol) is an organic compound, the simplest unsaturated alcohol. It appears as a colorless liquid, toxic to humans, with an irritating odor, soluble in water and other organic solvents. Allyl Alcohol is produced by hydrolysis of allyl chloride or allyl acetate, catalytic isomerization of propene oxide, or by hydrogenation of acrolein.
Raw Material
Propylene. Propylene, the main raw material consumed, is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is a low-boiling, flammable, and highly volatile gas, with molecular formula C3H6. Propylene reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. It may be mildly irritating to the nose, throat, and respiratory tract; propylene has low acute toxicity from inhalation. PG Propylene has been mainly produced as ethylene manufacturing co-product (via steam cracking of paraffinic hydrocarbons) and by-product of petroleum refining (separation from refinery gas). Most recently, amid a tight propylene market, new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production have emerged.
