Maleic Anhydride Production from Benzene
Maleic Anhydride Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This study provides a techno-economic analysis of a process for Maleic Anhydride production from benzene in the United States. This process highlights a benzene oxidation to maleic anhydride in a fixed-bed reactor combined with an aqueous-based recovery system.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Maleic Anhydride production and related Maleic Anhydride production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Maleic Anhydride production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Maleic Anhydride plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Maleic Anhydride plant operating costs (Opex).
The Maleic Anhydride 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 Maleic Anhydride 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 Maleic Anhydride 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
Maleic Anhydride. Maleic anhydride is a multifunctional chemical intermediate which find application in many fields of industrial chemistry. It is an important raw material used in the manufacture of polyester resins, lubricant additives, plasticizers, surface coatings, copolymers, and agricultural chemicals. It is produced by vapor-phase oxidation of n-butane (most common route) or benzene.
Raw Material
Benzene. Benzene (C6H6) is a flammable and volatile liquid. As the most simple aromatic hydrocarbon, it is used as an intermediate to produce many important chemicals, such as styrene (raw material for polystyrene and synthetic rubber), cyclohexane (used in nylon production), alkylbenzenes (used in detergent industry), aniline (used to produce dyes and polyurethanes), and chlorobenzenes. Also, benzene is used to produce pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, plastics, and pesticides. It occurs naturally in crude oil and coal tar.

Maleic Anhydride from Butane (Two Fixed-Bed Reactors + Aqueous-Based Recovery)
This study presents an economic analysis of Maleic Anhydride production from n-butane in the United States using a process similar to the one developed by Scientific Design. In this process, Maleic Anhydride is produced by the partial oxidation reaction of n-butane with oxygen carried out in two fixed-bed reactors, using vanadium–phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalyst supported on silica. The Maleic Anhydride formed is recovered in an aqueous-based system.
