PDH Benchmarking

DESCRIPTION

PTAI’s PDH benchmark is the first and only industry benchmark focusing on PDH performance, costs and profitability.

• Successful track record for the PDH benchmark – Already executed for companies around the world
• PTAI has drawn on its experience from our C4 dehydrogenation benchmark to develop and execute the PDH benchmark
• Catofin and Oleflex, the primary PDH technologies, are compared together and separately for the greatest insights
 
• Benchmark includes propylene production, and co-products such as C4+, ethane, and fuel gas production
• Approximately 200 ratios published
• Measured KPIs include production losses, yields, turnaround performance, catalyst cycles, and overall manufacturing costs
• The PDH benchmark is conducted regularly depending on industry needs
• The benchmark is continuously enhanced based on feedback from the participants

BENEFITS

The motivations and objectives of companies who participate in a benchmarking project are as diverse as the projects themselves. These are some of the more common objectives that our Clients have in participating in a peer group/benchmarking project:

• Understand the relatively new and fast changing PDH process
• Quantify and understand strengths and weaknesses relative to others in their industry
• Gain insight into competitive position in the industry (or industry sector) on a regional or global basis
• Make changes in costs and operating practices that impact efficiencies
• Make discoveries allowing management to re-allocate capital and other resources for certain business units or for the company overall
• Determine how well the company (or business unit) is actually performing in the marketplace, rather than against internal historic data
• Benchmarking programs executed by PTAI ensure confidentiality of all parties and are in full compliance of anti-trust laws
