Book Description

This is a free full sample report offered by Intratec Solutions to demonstrate, in advance, the type of information you will get when you buy one of our reports, offering the same standard and structure (types of graphs, tables and descriptions) that you will find in all of our Cost Analysis Overview reports. This report presents alternatives for producing PG Propylene from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of PG Propylene production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Propylene Production from Light Naphtha * Pathway 2: Propylene Production from Ethylene and Butenes * Pathway 3: Propylene Production from Propane (with Hydrogen Generation) Pathway 1 corresponds to a steam cracker for Propylene production (ethylene as co-product). In Pathway 2, Propylene is produced via metathesis reaction of ethylene with 2-butene (present in raffinate-2 feedstock). In Pathway 3, propane is dehydrogenated to Propylene with hydrogen generated being valued as fuel. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: - Comparative analysis of capital costs - Comparative analysis of production costs * Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway - An overview of each production pathway, including: - Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated - Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Propene, Ethene, Steam Cracking, PDH, Propane Dehydrogenation, Olefins Conversion Technology, OCT
