Vinylchlorosilanes Production
Chlorosilanes Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents a techno-economic study of Vinylmethyldichlorosilane production using a conventional industrial process based on high temperature condensation of vinyl chloride with methyldichlorosilane. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Chlorosilanes production and related Chlorosilanes production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Chlorosilanes production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Chlorosilanes plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Chlorosilanes plant operating costs (Opex).
The Chlorosilanes 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 Chlorosilanes 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 Chlorosilanes 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
Vinylmethyldichlorosilane. Vinylmethyldichlorosilane (a.ka. Vinyl Methyl-Dichlorosilane) is a reactive organosilicon compound used in silicone production and as a crosslinking agent in adhesives and coatings. It is synthesized from methyl chloride and silicon. Its role in forming durable silicone polymers is crucial for many industries.
Raw Materials
Mixed Methylchlorosilanes. Mixed Methylchlorosilanes are a group of silicon-containing compounds essential in the production of silicones, resins, and sealants. These reactive intermediates are used to create a range of silicone-based materials with varying flexibility and durability. These compounds are produced by reacting silicon with methyl chloride. They are stored and transported as liquids, and their demand is closely linked to the growing need for silicone products in industrial and consumer applications.
Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl chloride, or vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), is a major chemical commodity, with worldwide importance related to its industrial use as the precursor to PVC. VCM is also used in a wide variety of copolymers. Inherent flame-retardant properties, wide range of plasticized compounds, and low cost of polymers produced from vinyl chloride have made it in fact a major industrial chemical, manufactured in about fifty countries. First commercially produced by catalytic hydrochlorination of acetylene, vinyl chloride nowadays is largely produced through ethylene-based, balanced vinyl chloride process. VCM production routes development have been tightly connected to the availability of key raw materials, particularly ethylene and chlorine, along with concerns related to energy efficiency, environmental impact, safety, and process reliability. Most of the existing VCM plants are actually integrated to EDC plants, where direct chlorination and oxychlorination processes are employed in parallel for EDC production.
