Frequently Asked Questions
The indicative CAPEX range is USD 15 million to USD 60 million for an indene recovery and purification plant with a capacity of 5,000 to 25,000 tons per year.
The benchmark plant capacity is 5,000 to 25,000 tons per year of indene.
The global indene market size is expected to be around USD 100 million to USD 300 million and is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% to 4.5%.
Coumarone-indene and hydrocarbon resins account for 55% to 65% of demand; indane and chemical intermediates account for 20 to 30%; and other uses account for 15 to 25%.
Indene is recovered from a coal tar fraction or pyrolysis gasoline through fractional distillation and further separation, followed by purification to a resin-grade or high-purity grade.
Key feedstock requirements are a coal tar light oil fraction or pyrolysis gasoline rich in indene, plus energy for distillation and separation. Feedstock stream procurement represents 55 to 70% of total production cost.
The distillation and separation trains together with the purification systems represent 45 to 55% of the total indene plant setup cost.
The feedstock stream and the energy for distillation are the most important cost drivers, and both depend on their respective markets.
Asia, mainly China, and other regions with coal tar and steam cracker capacity are major producing regions.
Indene is available as a resin grade and as a high-purity grade for chemical uses.
Effluent treatment and byproduct handling are necessary to meet environmental and regulatory obligations.
