Identify the most competitive alternatives in each world region


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. The development of a Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives (pathways) for manufacturing a given chemical, related to different raw materials and/or products generated. This encompasses patents, encyclopedias, text books, technical papers and non-confidential information disclosed by licensors, duly reviewed by Intratec's highly experienced engineers. Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individual production pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturing scheme, raw material(s) required and product(s) generated, related industrial processes and technology licensors. To compare the economic aspects of the pathways, Intratec engineers use average transaction prices of products and raw materials across different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are 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.
