This report presents a cost analysis of Polymer Grade (PG) Propylene production from methanol using a methanol-to-propylene (MTP) process. The process examined is similar to Lurgi MTP process. This process is carried out in two steps: first, methanol is converted to dimethyl ether (DME), and then DME is converted to Propylene. Gasoline is also generated as by-product in the process. 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) This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 20100063337, issued to Lurgi in 2010 Keywords: PG Propylene, Methyl Alcohol, Propene, On-Purpose Propylene Production

This report presents a cost analysis of Polymer Grade (PG) Propylene production from methanol using a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process The process examined is similar to UOP/Norsk Hydro (now Ineos) MTO process. In this process, methanol is converted to light olefins. Besides Propylene, polymer grade ethylene is also generated as co-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Funk, G.A., et al., "A Different Game Plan", Hydrocarbon Engineering, December 2013. Keywords: PG Propylene, Fluidized-Bed Reactor, Propene, Ethene, Methyl Alcohol, On-Purpose Propylene Production

This is a free full sample report offered by Intratec Solutions to demonstrate, in advance, the type of information you will get when you buy one of our reports, offering the same standard and structure (types of graphs, tables and descriptions) that you will find in all of our Cost Analysis Overview reports. This report presents alternatives for producing PG Propylene from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of PG Propylene production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Propylene Production from Light Naphtha * Pathway 2: Propylene Production from Ethylene and Butenes * Pathway 3: Propylene Production from Propane (with Hydrogen Generation) Pathway 1 corresponds to a steam cracker for Propylene production (ethylene as co-product). In Pathway 2, Propylene is produced via metathesis reaction of ethylene with 2-butene (present in raffinate-2 feedstock). In Pathway 3, propane is dehydrogenated to Propylene with hydrogen generated being valued as fuel. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: - Comparative analysis of capital costs - Comparative analysis of production costs * Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway - An overview of each production pathway, including: - Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated - Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Propene, Ethene, Steam Cracking, PDH, Propane Dehydrogenation, Olefins Conversion Technology, OCT

The tight propylene market contributed to the rising of new and novel lower-cost chemical processes for on-purpose propylene production technologies. Methanol-to-propylene (MTP) technology is one of the promising processes that arises to fullfil this need. This report analyzes a MTP process similar to the ones developed by Lurgi MTP(r) and JGC/Mitsubishi DTP(r). It is presented a detailed technical and economic evaluation of a unit located in the US Gulf Coast. Also, the evaluation is conducted for a plant constructed in Germany and China. While China presented the most attractive return of investment, the advent of shale gas in the USA, and the consequent low-price natural gas availability, make of the country a promising alternative for this technology. About the Publication Program The Technology Economics Program is a program that provides, by way of periodic reports, in-depth techno-economic assessments covering mature process technologies used by the chemical, polymer, refining and allied industries. Each report presents the following topics: process flow diagrams and description heat and material balances major equipment list equipment cost estimates bulk material and installation costs inside and outside battery limits capital costs process yields, raw material and utility consumptions fixed costs contributions process profitability by location

Propylene is an important material chemical intermediary because it can be utilized in numerous applications like the electricity and many other, but the main application of propylene is to make it as polypropylene. There are many processes that produce propylene, but the propylene production is connected with methanol by Lurgi's MTP that involves the dehydration operations. The LURGI MTP technology produce more amount of propylene than the other processes. The objective of this capstone project is to produce 80, 000 tons per year of propylene from methanol. Moreover, nowadays, there are many processes that have been develops and improved to produce the propylene the recent one is for dehydration the methanol because it gives the high production conversion of propylene (yield) which is equals to 45.44% with applying some of zeolite catalysts to achieve this process. The process flow diagram was designed and detailed by using available literature and performing the material and energy balance for the entire process. The first step was to star this project was to analyze the required amount of methanol for the process was equals to be 1124269.182 kg/days or 1462.06 kmol/hr. In addition, the design section calculations were detailed for several units and the main equipment of the process that includes which are pump, Shell & tube Heat Exchanger, BPR reactor, multicomponent distillation column and compressor. The design involved many calculations for example diameter, height, area, and volume, also the required weight of the catalyst for the DME reactor. In addition, the analysis of economics was assembled which the plants results originate to be profitable and having a payback period, and the plant was found to be with a payback period of 1.71 years. Finally, the environmental impacts and ethical issues was discussed. Also, for the HAZOP was done and explained for all the equipment and units that designed.
