DCPD Unsaturated Polyester Production
Unsaturated Polyester Resin Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents the economics of DCPD Unsaturated Polyester production from maleic anhydride, dicyclopentadiene, monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and styrene using a typical batch process in the United States. The addition reaction of maleic anhydride produces a dicyclopentadiene acid maleate that condenses with glycols to form DCPD resin.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Unsaturated Polyester Resin production and related Unsaturated Polyester Resin production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Unsaturated Polyester Resin production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Unsaturated Polyester Resin plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Unsaturated Polyester Resin plant operating costs (Opex).
The Unsaturated Polyester Resin 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 Unsaturated Polyester Resin 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 Unsaturated Polyester Resin plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Ethylene Glycol from Ethylene (Carbonation without EO By-Product)
This study presents the economics of Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) production from ethylene in the United States. The process described is similar to Shell OMEGA. First, ethylene is oxidized with pure oxygen to produce ethylene oxide (EO). The EO is then carbonated to generate ethylene carbonate, which is finally hydrolyzed to MEG.
