Report Abstract
This report presents an economic analysis for the production of Mixed Octenes starting from butenes. In this process, butenes are dimerized to octenes, using an organometalic catalyst. The study concerns a plant based on a process similar to Axens Dimersol-X and located in the United States.
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
Mixed Octenes. The Isononanol production process uses a mixture of octene isomers (molecular formula C8H16). Diverse isomers of octene are known, such as 1-octene, an alpha-olefin used primarily as a comonomer in production of polyethylene (HDPE and LLDPE). Octenes may also be used to alkylate phenols to give precursors to detergents. A mixture of octenes can be produced by different methods, including ethylene growth processes, dimerization of butenes, and polygas process (also starting from C4 hydrocarbons).
Raw Material
Butenes. Butene is a versatile olefin used primarily as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene and in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber. It is essential in enhancing the flexibility and toughness of plastic products, such as film and packaging materials. Butene is typically obtained from the refining of crude oil or the cracking of hydrocarbons. It is stored as a gas under pressure and can be transported via pipelines or as liquefied gas in specialized containers.
