Feedstock for Naphthalene

The direct raw material used to produce naphthalene is coal tar. Naphthalene is produced from coal tar via the distillation and fractionation process. The availability of coal tar directly affects the supply and procurement of naphthalene. There are various factors that determine the availability and cost of coal tar. Coal tar is produced as a by-product of coal pyrolysis. Thus, the variations in coal extraction and availability influence the production and cost of coal tar.

Fluctuations in the demand for coal tar from various downstream industries, such as construction, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, affect its procurement and pricing. Also, various economic factors, such as GDP growth, global trade dynamics, and geopolitical influences impact industrial production and demand for coal tar. Also, the smooth operation of the machinery and apparatus used for the production process of naphthalene from coal tar, such as distillation columns, fractionating columns, heat exchangers, and condensers, further impacts the production and supply chain of naphthalene.

Naphtha is also produced via catalytic reforming. Naphtha is used as the feedstock for the process. Thus, the cost and availability of naphtha directly affect the procurement and pricing of naphthalene. The fluctuations in the demand for naphtha from various industries, such as petrochemicals and fuel, affect its pricing. Naphtha is obtained from crude oil, so fluctuations in the crude oil availability and pricing, as well as geopolitical situations in major crude oil-producing countries, impact its production and pricing. Additionally, the efficient functioning of the machinery and apparatus required to produce naphthalene from naphtha, such as reformers, heat exchangers, hydrogen recycle systems and fractionation columns, further affects the production and supply of naphthalene.
 

Market Drivers for Naphthalene

The market for Naphthalene is majorly driven by its application in various downstream industries such as chemical manufacturing, dyes and pigments, textile, laboratory, and research. The utilization of naphthalene derivatives such as naphthalene sulphonates as superplasticizers in concrete, coupled with the global rise in infrastructure and construction projects, elevates its demand in the construction industry. Its usage in the production of dyes and intermediates boosts its market demand in the textile industry.

The function of naphthalene derivatives to synthesize pharmaceutical formulations and agrochemicals also fuels its market expansion in the associated sectors. Also, technological advancements, such as innovations in production processes and the development of high-purity naphthalene derivatives for advanced applications in pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals, contribute to its market growth.

The industrial procurement of Naphthalene is impacted by the cost and availability of the feedstock required for the production process, such as coal tar and naphtha. Also, Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for naphthalene includes the cost of purchasing and installing equipment such as distillation columns, fractionating towers, condensers, heat exchangers, and storage tanks, as well as costs related to building or upgrading facilities. Additionally, the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for naphthalene consists of the expenses for the procurement of raw materials, the energy cost required to run the production process, daily labor wages, and maintenance and repair expenses for the machines and equipment.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production from Coal Tar (By Distillation and Fractionation): The feedstock used in the manufacturing process is coal tar.

The manufacturing process of naphthalene occurs with coal tar as the starting material. In this process, the coal tar undergoes distillation and fractionation process. The middle fractions, which contain most of the naphthalene, are subjected to cooling and crystallization to get crude naphthalene. In the final step, the crude naphthalene is sent for distillation, washing, and sublimation to produce refined naphthalene.
