Benzene Production Cost Reports

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

Benzene or benzol is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C6H6 that is present in nature in volcanoes, forest fires, crude oil, gasoline, and cigarette smoke. It is the simplest organic, aromatic hydrocarbon. In crude oil, it can be separated following the oil's refining process, which results in a number of other petroleum products, including tiny amounts of benzene.

The chemical appears to be a clear, colourless, or light yellow liquid and has a sweet smell (its odour is similar to gasoline). It is highly flammable. It is easily evaporated in air, and its vapour is heavier than air. It has slight solubility in water and floats on the surface of the water; however, benzene is soluble in organic solvents. It has a density of 0.87g cm-3. The chemical's respective boiling and melting points are 80.5°C and 5.5°C, and its flash point is less than 0 °F.. It is highly toxic and carcinogenic in nature. It is highly inflammable and burns with a sooty flame.

The Benzene market is being driven by its use in the production of other chemicals (like ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, cumene, nitrobenzene, alkylbenzene, etc.), which are further used to make products like resins, plastics like ABS, nylon and synthetic fibres. It also has applications in the production of certain kinds of dyes, lubricants, detergents, rubbers, drugs, explosives, and pesticides.

Furthermore, it has its main application in producing polystyrene and nylon fibres. It also finds application for preparing phenol and to make aniline which is used further to make dyes and in dodecylbenzene that is added to detergents. Also, in industrial processes, it is used to degrease metal. Hence, all of these applications are contributing to the industry's expansion.
