Feasibility Studies: Diesel Manufacturing

Page 1

Industrial Process Reports About Diesel Diesel is a petroleum-based fuel used in transportation applications, as well as in non-road engines and equipment powering. It is the main fuel applied for shipping goods and moving freight. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Diesel production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an

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 industrial process 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 Diesel Production Economics ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL VIA HYDROPROCESSING (DIESEL E11A) Techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from soybean oil in the United States using a typical hydroprocessing process presenting an integrated hydrogen production plant. ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL VIA HYDROPROCESSING (DIESEL E12A) The process analyzed in this report is the same examined in the report “Diesel E11A” with the exception that purchased hydrogen is utilized. ECONOMICS OF FT DIESEL PRODUCTION PROCESS (DIESEL E21A) Economics of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Diesel production from wood chips via syngas in the USA. This process consists of two steps: a gasification step similar to Linde Carbo-V Technology and a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis step similar to Shell GTL process. ECONOMICS OF DIESEL PRODUCTION FROM WOOD CHIPS (DIESEL E22A) Techno-economic analysis of Diesel production from wood chips in the United States using a fast pyrolysis process combined with a hydroprocessing step. ECONOMICS OF DIESEL PRODUCTION PROCESS (DIESEL E31A) Feasibility analysis of Diesel production from carbon monoxide using an algae cultivation process in the United States using a threestep process: an algae cultivation step similar to Simgae; an extraction step similar to OriginOil Single Step Extraction; and a typical hydrotreating step. ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL PRODUCTION PROCESS (DIESEL E41A) Techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from corn stover in the United States using a catalytic conversion process.

Reports Focused on Diesel Production Economics ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL PRODUCTION PROCESS (DIESEL E42A) Techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from corn stover in the United States using a bioconversion process. ECONOMICS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL PRODUCTION PROCESS (DIESEL E51A) Techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from algae in the United States. In this process, lipids extracted from the algal biomass are converted to Diesel. ECONOMICS OF DIESEL PRODUCTION FROM SOYBEAN OIL (DIESEL E61A) Techno-economic analysis of Renewable Diesel production from soybean oil in the United States using a process similar to Neste Oil NExBTL. In this case, propane is generated as by-product.
