Iso Butane Production Cost Breakup by Isomerization Method

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of isobutane production by isomerization method. The production process of isobutane is initiated by the isomerization of butane. The process is carried out in the presence of a catalyst. Here, a mixture of aluminium chloride and hydrogen chloride is used as a catalyst at low-temperature isomerization reaction, while platinum metal is used to catalyze the reaction at high temperature and isomerize butane to produce isobutane as the final product.

Top Producers of Isobutane

  • ExxonMobil Chemical
  • LyondellBasell
  • Royal Dutch Shell
  • Total Petrochemicals & Refining
  • Chevron Phillips Chemical Company

Feedstock for Isobutane

Isobutane is a chemical compound produced by using butane as its primary raw material. The procurement of isobutane is strongly dependent upon some crucial factors, including the availability and production cost of its feedstocks (including crude oil and natural gas for butane production), along with the variation in its market prices, as well as the logistics and trade activities across various regions. Other vital factors, such as the demand observed for isobutane in the fuel, petrochemical, rubber, and chemical industries, as well as the stability in its supply chain, directly impact its procurement in the global market. Moreover, factors such as the regulations laid by the government, socioeconomic conditions and distribution altogether govern its procurement.
