Purchasing's aliphatics index, which is based on buyer responses to our monthly chemical transaction price survey, showed steadily increasing prices in 1999 (see indexes).
-
With the addition of new capacity in the third quarter and the expected decline of feedstock oil costs, the aliphatics index should settle to around 80 by the end of the year.
-
In the first quarter, the aliphatics index averaged about 58.5, then rose to 62 with a barrage of price increases for most petrochemicals in the second quarter, due to surging demand and several unplanned production outages that tightened supply.
-
The index for aliphatics chemicals pushed up further in the third quarter, to 77.1, and then to 90.4 for the fourth quarter, according to data provided by buyers.
-
As is the case with the aliphatics index, buyers see prices peaking for aromatics in the first quarter of 2000, before sliding in the second and third quarters.
-
The aliphatics index will climb from a current rate of 64 to 69 by the year's end.

F / T is not an efficient way to convert coal into C6 / C9 high-octane hydrocarbons. you do get a lot of wax, some aliphatics in the diesel boiling range, some low-octane naphtha (suitable for reformer feed) and some gases (C4 and under). from a thermal efficiency standpoint, incinerating the coal all the way to CO + H2 and then building up some hydrocarbon molecules wastes a lot of energy. and mapping U.S. infrastructure grids, along with Russia, just in case they decide it's time to disrupt our electricity and water supply.
