Economics of Maleic Anhydride Production from Butane
This report presents the economics of Maleic Anhydride production from butane via partial oxidation process. The process examined is similar to the one owned by Huntsman. 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.
