Regarding the project for deep processing of C5 to produce pentane
Thread Content
I would like to ask experts: what is the economic viability of further processing high-purity carbon pentane to produce isopentane, n-pentane, and cyclopentane? Thank you!
If this project is carried out successfully, the benefits will be substantial; one could take a look at Shanghai Petrochemical’s C5 project department
The benefits are good; currently, the price of isopentane is around 5,800, while that of n-pentane is 5,300. It can also be used as a foaming agent, and our company has this product in stock
It seems that if the source and processing of raw materials are handled properly, it’s sure to be profitable. Currently, some enterprises that carry out advanced processing of C4 fail to make proper use of C5 as well
Is the market environment good? How large is the market capacity? How much of the pentane produced by the hydrogenation and separation of 70,000 tons per year of raffinate C5 can the market absorb? Please advise, experts
