HDPE Production via Slurry Loop Process - Cost Analysis - HDPE E31A

This report presents a cost analysis of Homopolymer High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) production starting from polymer grade (PG) ethylene using a slurry loop process. The process described is a slurry loop reactor process, similar to Chevron Phillips CPChem and INEOS Innovene S. In this study, it is considered a single loop reactor polymerization for production of homopolymer HDPE. This in-depth, independent study provides readers with key and hard-to-find information regarding a production process technology and its economics, such as a description of the manufacturing process and industrial site installations, plant construction cost breakdown, production cost breakdown, and raw materials consumption figures. It was developed according to a consistent methodology refined by Intratec Solutions over more than 12 years, which involves extensive bibliographic research and data gathering/validation, process simulations and robust cost models.
