- 1. Chemicals Production Pathways AboutPolypropylene (PP) Reports Polypropylene (PP) figures among the most important plastic materials. Film and fiber are the two largest segments in the global PP market, followed by injection/blow molding and extrusion. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports comparing the economic potential of PP production pathways. Each report confronts the economics of producing PP from different feedstocks, across different locations. General information included in our reports is presented below. AN INTRODUCTION TO PP KEY TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF EACH PP PATHWAY * Description * Applications * Production pathways diagram * Description * Product(s) generated & raw material(s) consumed * Pathway scheme * Chemistry * Pathway input & output figures (including raw material(s) consumption) * Block flow diagram of representative industrial processes * Related technology licensors COMPARISON OF PATHWAYS' ECONOMIC POTENTIAL, IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES * Comparative analysis of capital costs * Comparative analysis of production costs * Historical behavior of the economic potential over the last 4 years * Comparison between PP price and raw materials costs of each pathway PATHWAYS COMPARATIVE SUMMARY GRAPH Coverage of Polypropylene Production Pathways Reports Each report compares Polypropylene (PP) manufacturing alternatives, including: REPORT BASIS & ASSUMPTIONS REFERENCES ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Compare the costs of production pathways Identify the most competitive alternatives in each world region Learn about alternatives for manufacturing PP
- 2. About our Methodology Intratechas distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports. The development of a Chemical Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives (pathways) for manufacturing a given chemical, related to different raw materials and/or products generated. This encompasses patents, encyclopedias, text books, technical papers and non-confidential information disclosed by licensors, duly reviewed by Intratec's highly experienced engineers. Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individual production pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturing scheme, raw material(s) required and product(s) generated, related industrial processes and technology licensors. To compare the economic aspects of the pathways, Intratec engineers use average transaction prices of products and raw materials across different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are founded on a number of established cost estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known industrial processes.
