For complete understanding of project economics, four major items must be discussed: capital requirements, operating expenses, cash flow and profitability measures. Petrochemicals in general are compounds and polymers derived directly or indirectly from petroleum. The petrochemical industry is mainly based on three types of intermediates; C₂ -C₄ olefins, the C₆ -C₈ aromatic aromatic hydrocarbons, and synthesis gas (H₂ /CO mixture). C₆ -C₈ aromatics include benzene, toluene, ortho-xylene and para-xylene. The aim of this thesis is to execute a financial model template using MICROSOFT EXCEL PROGRAM which can be applied on any petrochemical industry to check its profitability and use it to check the profitability of aromatics production configurations UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
