Carbon Fiber Production from Pitch - Cost Analysis - Carbon Fiber E21A

This report presents a cost analysis of Carbon Fiber production from pitch. The process starts with a preparation step that converts the pitch into mesophase pitch. The mesophase pitch is then stabilized and passes through carbonization, graphitization, surface treatment and sizing, before being winded. 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.
