Chemicals Production Pathways Reports

About Styrene

Styrene is the simplest and the most important member of a series of aromatic monomers. It is used
almost entirely for the manufacture of polymers, mostly polystyrene, followed by copolymers, such as
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/styrene-acrylonitrile resin (SAN) and styrene butadiene rubber

About our Methodology

Intratec has distilled the expertise gained from more than a decade supporting companies worldwide to devise consistent
methodologies, which ensures the development of holistic, coherent and consistent reports.
The development of a Chemical Production Pathways report starts with exhaustive research focused on existing alternatives
(pathways) for manufacturing a given chemical, related to different raw materials and/or products generated. This encompasses
patents, encyclopedias, text books, technical papers and non-confidential information disclosed by licensors, duly reviewed by
Intratec's highly experienced engineers.
Subsequently, the Intratec team conducts additional bibliographical research and data gathering focused on each individual
production pathway, with the goal of identifying the key aspects of the pathway under analysis, including overall manufacturing
scheme, raw material(s) required and product(s) generated, related industrial processes and technology licensors.
To compare the economic aspects of the pathways, Intratec engineers use average transaction prices of products and raw materials
across different regions, based on trade statistics and robust cost models. Our cost models are founded on a number of established
cost estimating methods, based on mathematical and statistical processing of an extensive volume of actual cost data of well-known
industrial processes.

Chemicals Production Pathways Reports Family

Intratec's Chemical Production Pathways reports are a family of reports that present alternatives for producing a chemical or utility and
compare the economic potential of such alternatives in different world regions. In short, each report confronts the economics of
producing a chemical or utility from different feedstocks, across different locations.
