Chlorine Production From Sodium Chloride Cost Analysis Chlorine E11a PDF Download

This report presents a cost analysis of a typical Aluminium Chloride production process from aluminium metal and chlorine. In the process, chlorine gas is passed through molten aluminium powder in ceramic lined tube shaped reactors, producing Aluminium Chloride. This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a United States-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses: * Capital Investment, broken down by: - Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency - Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency - Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Production cost, broken down by: - Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities) - Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance) - Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements * Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) Keywords: Aluminum Trichloride, Aluminium Scrap, Anhydrous Aluminium Chloride
