Propylene Production Cost Reports

Propylene production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Propylene production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Propylene. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Propylene (C3H6) or propene is a clear gas that is produced using gasoline refining or by splitting, cracking and reforming hydrocarbon mixtures. It has a natural pungent (strong) smell. It is a great substitute for heating and cutting because of its high combustion. It is extensively used as a fuel but also finds application in the chemical and plastics industries.

Propylene is a non-toxic and colourless gas that has a slight smell similar to that of petroleum. Its molecular weight is 42.08 U, and its density of 223.4 kg/m3. Its melting and boiling points are 87.9 K and 225.46 K respectively. The gas is highly flammable and can lead to explosions. Its vapours are heavier compared to air.

The market for Propylene is primarily being driven by its primary usage as a fuel. Furthermore, Propylene is extensively used for manufacturing products like resins, fibres, and elastomers, which further boosts the market's demand. In addition, a significant amount of the commodity is used in the production of polypropylene which is further used to make apparel, squeeze bottles, and outdoor furniture etc., which is also boosting the industry's growth.

In the chemical industry, it is used to produce a wide number of chemical products. Also, other applications of the commodity include its uses like as a propane alternative used for heating and cutting, in the organic synthesis of materials such as acetone, for making polypropylene plastic following its polymerisation, and as a refrigerant or in calibration mixtures. Therefore, owing to all these applications of the commodity, its market demand is growing immensely.
