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 Ethylene Production Economics ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE FROM VACUUM GAS OIL (ETHYLENE E01A) Feasibility study of Ethylene production from vacuum gas oil (VGO) using a steam cracking process in the USA. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF ETHANE (ETHYLENE E11A) Economics of a steam cracking process for Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from ethane in the USA. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA CRACKING OF ETHANE/PROPANE (ETHYLENE E21A) The process examined in this report uses a mixture of ethane and propane as raw material. The economic analysis considers a plant located in the USA. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF PROPANE (ETHYLENE E31A) Techno-economic study of a steam cracking process for PG Ethylene production in the USA. The process reviewed uses propane as the only feedstock. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF N-BUTANE (ETHYLENE E41A) Economic analysis of n-butane steam cracking for Polymer Grade Ethylene production in the USA. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF ISOBUTANE (ETHYLENE E51A) The process examined in this report is the same examined in the report “Ethylene E41A”, but isobutane is used as feedstock. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE FROM ATMOSPHERIC GAS OIL (ETHYLENE E61A) Feasibility analysis of a steam cracking process for Polymer Grade Ethylene production from atmospheric gas oil (AGO) feedstock in the USA.

Reports Focused on Ethylene Production Economics ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF NAPHTHA (ETHYLENE E71A) Economics of Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from light naphtha feedstock in the USA using a steam cracking process at high severity conditions to maximize Ethylene yield. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA STEAM CRACKING OF NAPHTHA (ETHYLENE E72A) The process examined in this report is the same examined in the report “Ethylene E71A”, with the exception that this process is conducted at low severity conditions, maximizing propylene to Ethylene ratio. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA ETHANOL DEHYDRATION (ETHYLENE E81A) Techno-economic analysis of PG Ethylene production from hydrous ethanol in the USA using a dehydration process similar to the one proposed by BP Chemicals. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA ETHANOL DEHYDRATION (ETHYLENE E82A) Economics of Polymer Grade (PG) Ethylene production from hydrous ethanol in the USA. Different from the report “Ethylene E81A”, the dehydration process examined in this report is similar to the processes developed by Chematur and Petron. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA ETHANOL DEHYDRATION (ETHYLENE E83A) This study also presents the costs associated with Green Ethylene production from ethanol in the USA. Different from the report “Ethylene E82A”, this study depicts a process similar to the processes developed by Braskem and Petrobras. In this process, the reaction system is composed of multiple reactors and multiple furnaces. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA ETHANOL DEHYDRATION (ETHYLENE E84A) Different from the other reports about ethylene production via ethanol dehydration, the process analyzed in this study is similar to the process developed by Scientific Design. In this process, the reaction system is composed by only one reactor and one furnace. The study also assumes a plant constructed in the USA. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE VIA ETHANOL DEHYDRATION (ETHYLENE E85A) This study also concerns Green Ethylene production in the USA. Different from the other reports, the technology examined in this report is similar to the one developed by Dow Chemical. In this process, a selective oxidation reactor is used in the purification step to remove CO and hydrogen from the process. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION FROM METHANOL (ETHYLENE E91A) This report presents the economics of Ethylene production from methanol in the USA using a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process. ECONOMICS OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION FROM METHANE (ETHYLENE EA1A) Economic analysis of Ethylene production from methane in the USA using an oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) process.
