Sodium hypochlorite is an excellent disinfecting agent employed in water treatment, cleaning and laundry operations. Transport and handling safety concerns have direct public opinion towards the use of sodium hypochlorite rather than chlorine gas in water treatment, which represents a significant market expansion potential. This publication reviews the technical aspects of a industrial bleach production process similar to the Solvay Chemicals. The analysis also includes estimates for both the capital investment and the operating costs of typical plants on the US Gulf Coast and in Brazil. This study follows the same pattern as all Technology Economics studies developed by Intratec. About Technology Economics Technology Economics studies are advisory services ordered by leading chemical companies, which are disclosed to public after an agreeded upon period of time. All Technology Economics studies are based on the same rigorous methodology and well-defined structure, encompassing: Process flow diagrams and material balances Raw material and utility consumptions Major equipment sizing Inside and outside battery limits capital costs Detailed fixed and variable manufacturing expenses

In the next few years, the US ethylene capacity is expected to grow by more than 30%, due to the rising exploitation of shale gas. Likewise, major petrochemical players have planned the construction of new polyethylene production plants. In this publication Intratec analyzes the technology and economics of a solution process similar to the NOVA Chemicals SCLAIRTECH technology. In the economic analysis Intratec presents not only the capital invesments and operating costs of a butene-based LLDPE plant in the US Gulf Coast, but also a regional comparison and sensitivity analysis on key raw material and key product prices. This study follows the same pattern as all Technology Economics studies developed by Intratec. About Technology Economics Technology Economics studies are advisory services ordered by leading chemical companies, which are disclosed to public if they allow so. All Technology Economics studies are based on the same rigorous methodology and well-defined structure, encompassing: Process flow diagrams and material balances Raw material and utility consumptions Major equipment sizing Inside and outside battery limits capital costs Detailed fixed and variable manufacturing expenses

Sodium hypochlorite is the active constituent in chlorine bleach. It is an excellent disinfecting agent that is employed in water treatment, cleaning and laundry operations. Transport and handling safety concerns have direct public opinion towards the use of sodium hypochlorite rather than chlorine gas in water treatment, which represents a significant market expansion potential. In this report, it is reviewed the industrial bleach production through the chlorination of caustic soda by chlorine gas in packed columns. Included in the analysis is an overview of the technology and economics of a widely used process, similar to the employed by Solvay Chemicals. Both the capital investment and the operating costs for plants erected on the US Gulf Coast, Germany and Brazil are presented. 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

Rising oil prices and global concerns about sustainability and global warming have motivated research into ethylene manufacture from renewable sources. This report reviews the production of ethylene from ethanol dehydration in a process based on the patent published by BP Chemicals. It is presented a technical and economic evaluation of a unit located in the US Gulf Coast. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was performed in which the effects of variations in prices and technical parameters on the investment and the operating costs were studied. Green ethylene must be sold with an increased premium over fossil-based ethylene of about 50% in order to make the investment attractive. This study follows the same pattern as all Research Potential studies developed by Intratec. About Research Potential Research Potential studies are advisory services ordered by leading chemical companies, which are disclosed to public after an agreeded upon period of time. All Research Potential studies are based on the same rigorous methodology and well-defined structure, encompassing: Process flow diagrams and material balances Raw material and utility consumptions Major equipment sizing Inside and outside battery limits capital costs Detailed fixed and variable manufacturing expenses Sensitivity analysis

Manufacturers are increasingly, under pressure from their major stakeholders to integrate environmental issues in the design and management of their products. These stakeholders include customer, regulators, employees, communities, and interest groups who have a common stake in protecting the earth from pollution and in limiting the exploitation of earth's limited natural resources. Manufacturers recognize that being environmentally responsible also offers competitive advantage to the firm. Hence the Handbook of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing is written as a state-of-the-art reference to environmentally conscious manufacturing (ECM). The chapter authors were carefully selected. All the chapter authors have done extensive research and / or practice work in the field of ECM. The Handbook covers all the major topics in Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing. There are specific chapters to deal with sustainable manufacturing, recycling, eco-labelling, life cycle assessment, and ISO 14000 series of standards, as well as decision-making aspects of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing. Decision-oriented topics on supply chain, decision models, quality initiative, environmental costing and decision support systems are also covered. The influence of ECM on marketing imperative is also covered. The Handbook is the most comprehensive treatment of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing available to-date. It is the definitive, state-of-the-art reference to ECM and its applications to today's manufacturing firms.
