Propylene Production Cost Reports

Propylene has been established as a major component of the global olefins business, second only to ethylene. It is mainly used in the
production of polypropylene; but it is also employed in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as acrylonitrile, acrilic acid, oxo-alcohols,
propylene oxide, and cumene.
Propylene is majorly produced as byproduct of ethylene production, by steam cracking of hydrocarbon feedstocks, and petroleum refining.
Intratec portfolio includes reports examining Propylene production cost, with in-depth analysis of specific production processes and highlevel comparisons of different production routes.
