- 1. Know the capital investment required Examinethe operating costs & raw materials consumption Laurolactam is a lactam with the chemical formula C12H23NO. It is the monomer used in the production of nylon-12 (also known as polyamide 12 or PA12). The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Laurolactam production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General information included in our reports is presented below. AN INTRODUCTION TO LAUROLACTAM PROCESS TECHNOLOGY THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING * Description & applications * Production pathways diagram * Product(s) generated & raw material(s) consumed * Physico-chemistry highlights * Industrial site production capacity definition * Detailed process block flow scheme & description * Key process input & output figures (including raw material(s) consumption) * Labor requirements CAPITAL INVESTMENT BREAKDOWN * Total fixed capital required (ISBL, OSBL and contingency) * Working capital * Costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Multi-regional fixed capital analysis PRODUCTION COST DETAILED LOOK * Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials and utilities required) * Manufacturing fixed costs (e.g., labor and maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead) * Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Production cost history (4-year timeframe) Understand Laurolactam production costs Industrial Process Economics About Laurolactam Reports Coverage of Laurolactam Process Economics Reports Each report examines one specific Laurolactam production process, including: PROCESS ECONOMICS QUICK SUMMARY TABLE LABOR WAGE RATES AND PRICING BASIS REFERENCES & ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
- 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. Intratec's highly experienced engineers start the development of process economics reports with in-depth, comprehensive research on the technology examined, encompassing patents and available technical literature, non-confidential information provided by technology licensors and Intratec's in-house database. This exhaustive research provides a clear and consistent understanding of the process technology studied, including chemical, biological and/or physical transformations occurring in the target process, as well as reactants required and products formation. That knowledge is compiled into a detailed process block flow scheme and a mapping of key process input & output figures (including raw materials consumption). Finally, in the assessment of the economic figures of the process technology under analysis, Intratec’s team relies on an extensive in- house database and robust cost models. Our cost models were 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.

The process examined is similar to the one owned by Evonik, which involves the generation of cyclododecanone intermediate. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the USA. ECONOMICS OF LAUROLACTAM PRODUCTION FROM CYCLODODECANE (LAUROLACTAM E12A) This report also concerns the production of Laurolactam from cyclododecane in the USA. However, different from the report "Laurolactam E11A", this report reviews a photonitrozation process similar to the one owned by Arkema.
