Process Economics Program

Techno-Economic & Process Evaluation

Engineers and technical managers need to know if new technologies offer an opportunity or pose a threat. Since 1960, the Process Economics Program (PEP) has evaluated process economics of over 2000 process technologies used in chemicals, polymers, refining and biotech industries.

PEP’s experts continuously monitor global technical and commercial developments and provide insightful analysis needed to remain profitable in rapidly changing markets. These techno-economic analyses are delivered through a range of products and services unequaled in the industry:

• Reports emphasize significant developments in process technology that have potential commercial implications for the chemical and energy industries. Topics are selected by subscribers to insure relevance to the industry’s needs.  Report coverage includes: industry status, patent and literature review, process review, process flow diagram, major equipment list, capital and production costs analysis, and economic parametrics.
• Reviews provide timely analysis of important issues affecting the industry from process technology to industry restructuring.  The majority of reviews include a techno-economic analysis of an embryonic, emerging or commercial process technology back up by intellectual property analysis.
• The PEP Yearbook provides the world’s largest collection of annually updated process economics information, providing updated capital and cost-of-production information for over 1240 process technologies.
