Cumene Production Process - Cost Analysis - Cumene E15A
Description:... This report presents a cost analysis of Cumene production from benzene and refinery grade (RG) propylene. The process examined is a typical alkylation process using a zeolite catalyst.
This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a United States-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses:
* Capital Investment, broken down by:
- Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency
- Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency
- Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up
* Production cost, broken down by:
- Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities)
- Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance)
- Depreciation and corporate overhead costs
* Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements
* Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) Keywords: Propene, UOP Qmax, CB&I Lummus, CDTECH, CDCumene, Mobil/Badger, Zeolite
