PetrochemCalc delivers a focused view of the petrochemical system built to model the economics and conversion pathways behind the world’s most important olefins and aromatics value chains.
Instead of treating petrochemicals as a separate market, PetrochemCalc connects petrochemical production to the same upstream realities that drive it: feedstock availability, refinery constraints, regional pricing, and operational shifts. The result is a unified framework for understanding how petrochemical units behave and how margins move across the global network.
PetrochemCalc supports key petrochemical product streams and their integrated pathways:
This gives users a single platform to evaluate petrochemical economics at the product-stream level, while still accounting for upstream trade-offs and constraints that reshape supply.
PetrochemCalc captures the major processing routes that define aromatics and olefins economics, including:
These pathways form the core conversion logic behind BTX and aromatics systems enabling consistent modeling across configurations and regions.
Quantify how different feed slates shift yield outcomes and downstream margins across olefins and aromatics production.
See how changes in crude, naphtha, LPG, and energy pricing translate into petrochemical economics by region, unit type, and integration depth.
Compare units globally through modeled cost curves, utilization impacts, and regional parity, revealing advantaged assets and emerging margin pressure.
Run “what-if” cases across: feedstock differentials | pricing disruptions | utilization constraints | regional supply shocks
PetrochemCalc re-optimizes outcomes to show how these events propagate through the olefins and aromatics system.
Olefins and aromatics markets are increasingly shaped by upstream refinery behavior, feedstock competition, and integration decisions.
PetrochemCalc is designed to reveal those linkages clearly so traders, analysts, and strategy teams can move beyond static pricing and understand the true structural drivers of petrochemical margins.
