Feedstock for Carbon Tetrachloride

The feedstock involved in the production of Carbon Tetrachloride is Methyl Chloride. The sourcing of methyl chloride is affected by various factors. The major elements that impact its sourcing include the availability of raw materials, its global demand, and supply chain efficiency. Methyl chloride is produced from methanol, so the availability of methanol greatly affects its production. It is a volatile organic compound that contributes to atmospheric and environmental pollution. Thus, strict environmental regulations and policies with the aim of reducing emissions can also limit the production of methyl chloride, increase compliance costs, and affect how it's manufactured. The demand from industries that use methyl chlorides, such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture (for agrochemicals), and chemical manufacturing, also influences its sourcing. An increase in demand creates pressure on supplies and leads to higher prices. Additionally, economic stability, currency fluctuations, and changes in trade policies can also impact the cost and availability of methyl chloride.
 

Market Drivers for Carbon Tetrachloride

The market for Carbon Tetrachloride is primarily driven by its demand as an intermediate in producing dichlorodifluoromethane, which serves as a propellant and refrigerant. Its utilization in manufacturing refrigerants and propellants used in cooling systems also promotes its demand in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry. Its application in manufacturing fire extinguishers also fuels its demand in the fire safety industry. Its usage as a source of Chlorine in various chemical reactions further enhances its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage as a solvent in NMR spectroscopy and producing various cleaning products also boosts its demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and household cleaning industries. Its involvement as a solvent in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, and rubber products also contributes to its demand in rubber and agrochemical industries.

Numerous factors, such as market demand, cost, and the availability of raw materials, govern the industrial procurement of Carbon Tetrachloride. The availability and pricing of raw materials, including chlorine and methane, directly affects the cost of production and its procurement costs. Strict regulatory restrictions regarding environmental concerns and health safety due to the toxic and ozone-depleting properties of carbon tetrachloride further impact its use, availability, price, and production.

The capital expenditure (CAPEX) for setting up a carbon tetrachloride manufacturing plant refers to the cost of physical plant construction, purchasing specialized chemical processing equipment, and the cost of installation. Instruments, devices, and machinery required in the production of carbon tetrachloride include reactors, condensers, specialized pumps, scrubbers, distillation columns, and ventilation systems. Additionally, effectively managing the operating expenditures (OPEX) is also important for maintaining the day-to-day operation of the plant. OPEX for a carbon tetrachloride production plant includes costs associated with the continuous procurement of required feedstocks, utilities, salaries & benefits, repairs, periodic inspections, storage, and transportation.
