Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate Production
TEA-Lauryl Sulfate Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate (TEALS) production from chlorosulfonic acid, lauryl alcohol, and triethanolamine (TEA) in the United States. In the process examined, lauryl alcohol reacts with chlorosulfuric acid (sulfation agent). The product is neutralized with TEA, producing the surfactant.
The report provides a comprehensive study of TEA-Lauryl Sulfate production and related TEA-Lauryl Sulfate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the TEA-Lauryl Sulfate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related TEA-Lauryl Sulfate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective TEA-Lauryl Sulfate plant operating costs (Opex).
The TEA-Lauryl Sulfate 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 TEA-Lauryl Sulfate 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 TEA-Lauryl Sulfate 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
Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate. TEA-Lauryl Sulfate (a.k.a. Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate, TEALS) is the triethanolamine salt of lauryl sulfate. TEA-Lauryl Sulfate is a viscous, yellow liquid or vaseline-like substance having a faint characteristic odor. It is completely miscible with water at all temperatures, forming a gel at lower temperatures. TEA-Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant, manufactured by neutralizing lautyl sulfuric acid with aqueous triethanolamine. TEA-Lauryl Sulfate is used in the formulation of a variety of cosmetics and personal care products.
Raw Materials
Chlorosulfonic Acid. Chlorosulfonic acid, also known as chlorosulfuric acid and sulfurochloridic acid, is the sulfonic acid of chlorine. On a commercial scale, its production is based on reacting hydrogen chloride with a solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid. This compound is mainly used in the sulfation of alcohols, to prepare sodium alkyl sulfates. It is also employed in the production of saccharin.
Lauryl Alcohol. Lauryl alcohol is a fatty alcohol used in producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants. It is a key ingredient in detergents and personal care products. Derived from coconut or palm kernel oil, it is stored as a waxy solid or liquid. Its long carbon chain contributes to the foaming and cleansing properties in formulations.
Triethanolamine. Triethanolamine is a versatile chemical used as an emulsifier, pH balancer, and corrosion inhibitor in cosmetics, personal care products, and metalworking fluids. It is also employed in cement grinding aids and gas scrubbing. Produced through the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia, it is stored as a colorless, viscous liquid. Its multifunctionality in various formulations enhances product stability, consistency, and performance across industries.
