Cost & GHG data for Metallocene catalysts and Aluminoxane

[burndirt]

Working on a budgetary estimate for a polyethylene polymerization plant,

Can anyone point me to some cost data on metallocene catalysts and more importantly on the aluminoxane.

The vendors seem to be reluctant to respond to my requests for budgetary pricing.

I also have to do a life-cycle analysis on the process, so any links to information on the energy required to manufacture the metallocenes and the aluminoxane would be appreciated as well.

May I ask why you are pricing up a PE plant? If you are working for a large polymer producer it seems to me that the vendors would be more than willing to give you pricing for catalysts etc..

There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.
