Feasibility Studies: Phenol Manufacturing

Page 1

Industrial Process Economics Reports About Phenol Phenol is an aromatic alcohol, primarily used as an intermediary chemical in the production of bisphenol A and a variety of polymers. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Phenol production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an

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 Phenol Production Economics ECONOMICS OF PHENOL PRODUCTION FROM CUMENE (PHENOL E11A) Feasibility analysis of Phenol production from cumene in the USA using a typical hydroperoxidation process. ECONOMICS OF PHENOL PRODUCTION FROM TOLUENE (PHENOL E21A) This study reviews the economics of a process producing Phenol from Toluene. The economic analysis presented assumes a plant constructed in the USA. ECONOMICS OF PHENOL PRODUCTION FROM BENZENE (PHENOL E31A) Techno-economic study of Phenol production from benzene and hydrogen peroxide in the United States using a process similar to the one proposed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. ECONOMICS OF PHENOL PRODUCTION PROCESS (PHENOL E41A) This report presents an economic analysis of Phenol production from benzene and propylene also in the USA. The process analyzed in this report is similar to the one presented in the report “Phenol E11A”, but in this case, cumene used in the reaction is produced onsite from benzene and propylene.
