Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Nylon 6 production from caprolactam. The process examined is a typical continuous polymerization of caprolactam, carried out in two stages, similar to technologies developed/licensed by Thyssenkrupp (Uhde Inventa-Fischer) and Air Liquide (Lurgi Zimmer). The final product obtained is Nylon 6 chips. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Polyamides, General," Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes, 2nd edition Keywords: Ring Opening Polymerization, Continuous Process, Caprolactam, Lurgi Zimmer, Uhde Inventa-Fischer
