Feedstock for Morpholine

The direct raw materials used in the production process of morpholine include diethylene glycol and ammonia. Thus, the surge or decline in the prices and availability of these raw materials influence the overall supply chain of morpholine.

Various factors affect the supply and costs of diethylene glycol. The cost and availability of feedstock Ethylene Oxide, influences its prices. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East contribute to increased market volatility. Also, factors such as supply disruptions, plant shutdowns due to hurricane season, and disruption in trade flows affect the costs and availability. The demand for diethylene glycol from various downstream industries and sectors, mainly the resin manufacturing sector, paints and coatings, and automotive and construction sectors, further impacts the prices.

Ammonia is another major raw material required to produce morpholine. The production of ammonia mainly depends on its raw materials, such as nitrogen and hydrogen. The fluctuations in the prices and availability of these inputs impact the overall supply chain for ammonia. Additionally, the demand for ammonia across various downstream industries, such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, food production, and wastewater treatment, further influences its pricing dynamics.
 

Market Drivers for Morpholine

The market demand for morpholine is majorly driven by its application in various downstream industries and sectors such as rubber, corrosion, waxes and polishes, optical brighteners, textiles, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, household cleaning products, cosmetics, etc. Its utilization as an accelerator and scorch retarder elevates its demand in the rubber industry. Its effectiveness as a corrosion inhibitor in boiler systems boosts its market growth in the water treatment sector. Its usage for drug formulation and in agrochemicals fuels its market expansion in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Also, its ability to enhance the durability of construction materials, coupled with the global rise in construction activities, further promotes its market value.

The industrial morpholine procurement is impacted by the fluctuations in the prices and availability of the feedstock, such as diethylene glycol and ammonia. Also, the high-pressure reactor, hydrogen supply system, fixed-bed reactor, cooling system, separation unit, storage tanks, and quality control equipment are the equipment required for the production process of morpholine. Thus, the initial cost of purchasing and installing the equipment, as well as the construction of a manufacturing plant, contributes to the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX) for morpholine. Additionally, operational expenditures (OPEX) for producing morpholine consist of the day-to-day costs required for the production process, such as procurement of raw materials (diethylene glycol and ammonia), daily labor costs, energy costs, the costs of maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment, safety measures, overhead costs, packaging costs, and logistics.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Morpholine manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Morpholine manufacturing.

• Production from Diethylene Glycol with Ammonia: The feedstock utilized in the industrial manufacturing process consists of diethylene glycol and ammonia.

The production process of morpholine occurs from diethylene glycol and ammonia as the starting materials. The process initiates through a gas-phase reaction facilitated by hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst at elevated temperatures. The process involves removing excess ammonia post-reaction and isolating pure morpholine via fractional distillation.
