Valeraldehyde Production
Valeraldehyde Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report approaches a feasibility analysis of Valeraldehyde production from butenes and syngas. The process under analysis is a typical hydroformylation of butenes in the presence of a bisphosphite-modified rhodium catalyst. This report presents a cost analysis of a United States-based industrial plant.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Valeraldehyde production and related Valeraldehyde production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Valeraldehyde production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Valeraldehyde plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Valeraldehyde plant operating costs (Opex).
The Valeraldehyde 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 Valeraldehyde 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 Valeraldehyde 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
Valeraldehyde. Valeraldehyde is an organic compound used as a flavoring agent and as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Valeraldehyde is produced via the oxidation of pentanol and is stored as a liquid. Its reactivity and role in chemical synthesis make it valuable in various industrial processes.
Raw Materials
Butenes. Butene is a versatile olefin used primarily as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene and in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber. It is essential in enhancing the flexibility and toughness of plastic products, such as film and packaging materials. Butene is typically obtained from the refining of crude oil or the cracking of hydrocarbons. It is stored as a gas under pressure and can be transported via pipelines or as liquefied gas in specialized containers.
Syngas. Synthesis Gas is a gas mixture mainly composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2). It is a raw material for the production of various products, such as methanol, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, dimethyl ether, oxo alcohols and many other chemicals. Syngas may be produced from both fossil sources (e.g. coal, petroleum or natural gas) and renewable materials, such as biomass or wood. Synthesis gas is produced industrially via different routes including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, and dry reforming. Its composition can significantly vary from the production method used.

2-Propylheptanol Production from Valeraldehyde
This report presents the economics of 2-Propylheptanol (2-PH) production from n-valeraldehyde in the United States. In this process, the valeraldehyde feed is first submitted to an aldolization reaction, catalyzed by sodium hydroxide, which converts two molecules of valeraldehyde into 2-Propyl-2-heptenal and water. Then, the 2-Propyl-2-heptenal is hydrogenated, yielding 2-PH.
