This report presents an economic analysis of Methanol production from naphtha in the United States. In this process, naphtha undergoes partial oxidation producing syngas, which is then converted to Methanol.

The report provides a comprehensive study of Methanol production and related Methanol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Methanol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Methanol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Methanol plant operating costs (Opex).

The Methanol 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 Methanol 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 Methanol plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Methanol Production Cost Report Process Overview
Product

Methanol. Methanol is a simple alcohol used as a solvent, antifreeze, and a feedstock for producing formaldehyde, acetic acid, and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). It is also an alternative fuel in various energy applications. Methanol is produced from synthesis gas and is stored as a liquid. In addition to its widespread use in chemicals and fuels, methanol is increasingly used in the production of biodiesel and fuel cells, highlighting its role in renewable energy technologies.

Raw Material

Naphtha. Naphtha refers to liquid hydrocarbon mixtures, composed primarily of aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is obtained from crude oil refining natural gas condensates and petroleum distillates. Naphtha is a key feedstock for the petrochemical industry, used in steam reformers and steam crackers in the production of hydrogen, Ethylene and other olefins.

Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)

This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In this process, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of conventional steam reforming and secondary autothermal reforming. Then, the syngas is converted into Methanol.

Methanol Production from Natural Gas (Advanced GHR + ATR)

This study presents the economics of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas in the United States. In the process examined, natural gas is first converted into synthesis gas (syngas) by means of gas heated reforming (GHR) and secondary autothermal reforming (ATR). Then, the generated syngas is converted to Methanol following concepts similar to JM Catalysts LCM Process.

Toluene Diisocyanate Production from DNT, CO and Methanol

This report presents the economics of Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) production from dinitrotoluene (DNT) in the United States. The process examined is a typical reductive carbonylation. DNT initially is reacted with carbon monoxide and methanol to form toluene dimethylcarbamate, which is then thermally decomposed to produce TDI.

Phenthoate Production

This study presents the economics of Phenthoate production from EBPA, phosphorus pentasulfide, toluene, and methanol in the United States. In this process, phosphorus pentasulfide is dissolved in toluene and mixed with methanol to obtain O,O-dimethyl dithiophosphoric acid (TPA). The acid is neutralized with ammonia, and finally the resulting ammonium salt reacts with EBPA to produce phenthoate.
