Report Abstract
This report presents the economics of 1-Octene production from mixed C4 hydrocarbons in the United States. The analysis assumes a plant employing a process similar to the technology owned by Dow Chemicals that highlights a butadiene telomerization for 1-octene generation.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Octene production and related Octene production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Octene production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Octene plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Octene plant operating costs (Opex).
The Octene production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Octene plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Octene plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview

Product
1-Octene. Octene is any alkene having eight carbons. Among octene isomers, 1-octene is considered and important liner alpha olefin (LAO), produced commercially from ethylene oligomerization, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and dehydration of alcohols. Main uses of octene are in organic sysnthesis, primarily as comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). To a lesser extent, this chemical is used in plasticizers, surfactants, pulp and paper industry and lubricants, among others.
Raw Material
Crude C4. Crude C4s streams are generally produced during steam cracking processes for the production of ethylene. Despite also comprising butanes and butenes, the major components of this stream are butadiene (a key raw material for the rubber industry) and isobutylene - employed in the generation of gasoline additives, such as Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) and Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether (ETBE).
