Hexamethylenediamine Production from Adiponitrile
Hexamethylenediamine Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) production from adiponitrile. In the process examined, adiponitrile is hydrogenated to HMDA. The economic analysis is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Hexamethylenediamine production and related Hexamethylenediamine production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Hexamethylenediamine production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Hexamethylenediamine plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Hexamethylenediamine plant operating costs (Opex).
The Hexamethylenediamine 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 Hexamethylenediamine 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 Hexamethylenediamine 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
HMDA. Hexamethylenediamine is a diamine primarily used in the production of nylon and other polyamides. It acts as a monomer that polymerizes with dicarboxylic acids to form strong, durable materials. Hexamethylenediamine is produced from adiponitrile through hydrogenation and is stored as a liquid. Besides nylon production, it is also used in coatings, adhesives, and resins, where it enhances the structural integrity and performance of polymers.
Raw Material
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.
