Hydrogen Cyanide Production Cost Breakup via Degussa (or BMA) Process
This study analyzes Hydrogen Cyanide Production via Degussa (or BMA) Process, covering manufacturing, process flow, operating expenses, and financial considerations.
Last Updated: January, 2025
This report presents a detailed cost modelling of hydrogen cyanide industrial manufacturing via the Degussa Process. The Degussa process, also known as the BMA (Blausäure Methan Ammoniak) process, is a method for producing hydrogen cyanide (HCN) that involves the reaction of methane and ammonia.
This process is distinguished by its exclusion of oxygen and relies on indirect heat transfer through the reactor walls to drive the reaction. Typically, the reaction takes place at high temperatures in a specially designed reactor where methane and ammonia are passed over a catalyst made of platinum or a platinum group metal. The heat necessary for the reaction is provided externally, often through electric heating (or another heat source that ensures precise temperature control without direct contact).
