This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polymer Grade (PG) Propylene production from methanol using a methanol-to-propylene (MTP) process. The process examined is similar to Lurgi MTP process. This process is carried out in two steps: first, methanol is converted to dimethyl ether (DME), and then DME is converted to Propylene. Gasoline is also generated as by-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 20100063337, issued to Lurgi in 2010 Keywords: PG Propylene, Methyl Alcohol, Propene, On-Purpose Propylene Production

Gasoline is also generated as by-product in the process. This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a United States-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses: * Capital Investment, broken down by: - Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency - Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency - Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Production cost, broken down by: - Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities) - Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance) - Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements * Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 20100063337, issued to Lurgi in 2010 Keywords: PG Propylene, Methyl Alcohol, Propene, On-Purpose Propylene Production

This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polymer Grade (PG) Propylene production from methanol using a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process The process examined is similar to UOP/Norsk Hydro (now Ineos) MTO process. In this process, methanol is converted to light olefins. Besides Propylene, polymer grade ethylene is also generated as co-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Funk, G.A., et al., "A Different Game Plan", Hydrocarbon Engineering, December 2013. Keywords: PG Propylene, Fluidized-Bed Reactor, Propene, Ethene, Methyl Alcohol, On-Purpose Propylene Production

Download or read book Technology Economics Propylene from Methanol written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study about the process to produce propylene from methanol, a promising alternative that arises to fulfill the needs for novel on-purpose propylene production technologies based on low-cost feedstock. The technical aspects of a methanol-to-propylene process similar to the Lurgi MTP technology are reviewed. The analysis also includes estimates for both the capital investment and the operating costs of typical plants on the US Gulf Coast and in China. This study follows the same pattern as all Technology Economics studies developed by Intratec. About Technology Economics Technology Economics studies are advisory services ordered by leading chemical companies, which are disclosed to public after an agreeded upon period of time. All Technology Economics studies are based on the same rigorous methodology and well-defined structure, encompassing: Process flow diagrams and material balances Raw material and utility consumptions Major equipment sizing Inside and outside battery limits capital costs Detailed fixed and variable manufacturing expenses

Download or read book Propylene Production from Methanol written by Intratec and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tight propylene market contributed to the rising of new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production technologies. Methanol-to-propylene (MTP) technology is one of the promising processes that arises to fullfil this need. This report analyzes a MTP process similar to the ones developed by Lurgi MTP(r) and JGC/Mitsubishi DTP(r). It is presented a detailed technical and economic evaluation of a unit located in the US Gulf Coast. Also, the evaluation is conducted for a plant constructed in Germany and China. While China presented the most attractive return of investment, the advent of shale gas in the USA, and the consequent low-price natural gas availability, make of the country a promising alternative for this technology. About the Publication Program The Technology Economics Program is a program that provides, by way of periodic reports, in-depth techno-economic assessments covering mature process technologies used by the chemical, polymer, refining and allied industries. Each report presents the following topics: process flow diagrams and description heat and material balances major equipment list equipment cost estimates bulk material and installation costs inside and outside battery limits capital costs process yields, raw material and utility consumptions fixed costs contributions process profitability by location
