Salicylic Acid Production
Salicylic Acid Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report analyses the economics of a typical Salicylic Acid production process from phenol, sodium hydroxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfuric acid in the United States. Initially, phenol and hot aqueous caustic are reacted to produce sodium phenolate which is taken to dryness. Then, it undergoes carboxylation with carbon dioxide, yielding sodium salicylate, which is acidified with sulfuric acid, precipitating Salicylic acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Salicylic Acid production and related Salicylic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Salicylic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Salicylic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Salicylic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Salicylic Acid 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 Salicylic Acid 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 Salicylic Acid plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
