Thiram Production

This report presents the economics of Thiram production from dimethylamine, carbon disulfide, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfuric acid in the United States. In the process, dimethyl amine reacts with carbon disulfide, yielding N,N-dimethyl dithiocarbamic acid. The product is neutralized with sodium hydroxide, producing the corresponding sodium salt, which is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid, producing Thiram.

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

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