Acetic Acid (2013 Program)

Acetic acid production technologies have been evaluated. Process economics for the following technologies have been developed on a multi-regional basis: methanol carbonylation (BP Cativa, Celanese AO Plus, Chiyoda Acetica), ethylene oxidation (Showa Denko), ethane oxidation (SABIC), and ethanol oxidation (ACEO). Regional supply/demand is included.
