REFERENCES & ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
About our Methodology Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports. Intratec's highly experienced engineers start the development of process economics reports with in-depth, comprehensive research on the technology examined, encompassing patents and available technical literature, non-confidential information provided by technology licensors and Intratec's in-house database. This exhaustive research provides a clear and consistent understanding of the process technology studied, including chemical, biological and/or physical transformations occurring in the target process, as well as reactants required and products formation. That knowledge is compiled into a detailed process block flow scheme and a mapping of key process input & output figures (including raw materials consumption). Finally, in the assessment of the economic figures of the process technology under analysis, Intratec’s team relies on an extensive inhouse database and robust cost models. Our cost models were founded on a number of established cost-estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known industrial processes.

Reports Focused on Cumene Production Economics ECONOMICS OF CUMENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (CUMENE E11A) This report presents the economics of Cumene production from benzene and polymer grade (PG) propylene using a process a typical alkylation process. The economic assessment assumes a plant located in the USA. ECONOMICS OF CUMENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (CUMENE E12A) This study presents the economics of a typical Cumene production process from benzene and refinery grade (RG) propylene via alkylation using a solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalyst. The analysis is based on a plant constructed in the USA. ECONOMICS OF CUMENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (CUMENE E13A) This study reviews Cumene production from benzene and refinery grade (RG) propylene. Different from report “Cumene E12A”, this study examines a process that involves alkylation using a solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalyst and transalkylation using a zeolite catalyst. ECONOMICS OF CUMENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (CUMENE E14A) It presents the economics of Cumene production process from benzene and refinery grade (RG) propylene. Different from the report “Cumene E12A”, the process reviewed is an alkylation technology using an aluminium chloride (AlCl3) catalyst. ECONOMICS OF CUMENE PRODUCTION PROCESS (CUMENE E15A) This feasibility study reviews Cumene production from benzene and refinery grade (RG) propylene via an alkylation process. Different from the report “Cumene E14A”, the alkylation step is carried out using a zeolite catalyst. The economic assessment also assumes a plant located in the USA.
