Cyclododecanol Production
Cyclododecanol Plant Capital & Operating Cost Analysis | United States | Q1 2026
This report presents the economics of Cyclododecanol from cyclododecane. The process examined is similar to the one owned by Evonik. In the process examined cyclododecane is oxidized with air oxygen in liquid phase, in the presence of a boric acid catalyst, yielding Cyclododecanol.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Cyclododecanol production and related Cyclododecanol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Cyclododecanol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Cyclododecanol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Cyclododecanol plant operating costs (Opex).
The Cyclododecanol 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 Cyclododecanol 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 Cyclododecanol 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
Cyclododecanol. Cyclododecanol is an alcohol used as an intermediate in the production of fragrances, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Its versatility in chemical synthesis makes it valuable in industrial applications. Cyclododecanol is produced through the reduction of cyclododecanone and is stored as a solid. It plays a key role in industries producing high-performance chemicals and materials.
Raw Materials
Cyclododecane. Cyclododecane (CDD) is a waxy cyclic hydrocarbon, solid at room temperature. This chemical is obtained mainly by the catalytic hydrogenation of cyclododecatriene, derived in turn from the catalytic cyclotrimerization of butadiene. The main application of Cyclododecane is as precursor to Laurolactam. It is also an intermediate in the manufacture chemicals, flame retardants and detergents.
Oxygen. Oxygen is a reactive gas used in metal smelting, chemical production, and medical applications. It supports combustion and is critical in processes like steelmaking and water treatment. Oxygen is produced via air separation processes and is stored as a compressed gas or liquid. Its broad industrial applications and role in healthcare make it a vital commodity.

Gaseous Oxygen from Air (Vacuum Swing Adsorption Process)
This report presents a feasibility analysis of Oxygen production in the United States, using atmospheric air as the starting material. In this case, a typical vacuum swing adsorption process is applied for the production of low purity Oxygen. In this process, switching beds, each containing two strata, absorb water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the air, yielding low purity oxygen.
