Technology Intelligence Program (TIP)
CMAI and Intratec are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new program, the
Technology Intelligence Program (TIP), a detailed and comprehensive review and evaluation
of process technology, capital and production costs, market overview and profitability
analysis for production technologies of interest to the chemical industry. This new
program will combine the renowned chemical market strength of CMAI with the chemical
process technology and engineering expertise of Intratec.
TIP Technology Reports will serve as important tools for executives, engineers, academics,
and many decision makers in a broad range of situations, when it is necessary to predict, in
an unbiased way, crucial operating and performance information about specific
processes/technologies. The TIP program develops and evaluates key design information such
as process flowcharts, mass and energy balances, key performance indicators, capital investments,
cost structure and cost-effectiveness, and main inefficiencies, and quantifies technological
strengths and weaknesses. These reports will be reliable sources for insightful observations
about both existing and emerging cvhemical process technologies. CMAI and Intratec's consultants
developed the present report through a structured methodology that involved gathering, processing
and reconciling a significant amount of publicly available, non-confidential information
disclosed by technology licensors and patent disclosures. TIP Technology Reports include a
5-year historical patent review, and point out emerging and up-to-date technologies and trends.
In addition, each report provides global supply/demand and an outlook on capacity by producr from
CMAI's proprietary capacity databse. TIP Technology Reports also incorporate feedstock and
product pricing from CMAI's price database, providing realistic economic evaluations. TIP
Consolidated reports provide a business-oriented comparative analysis among key technologies,
including both a comprehensive report as well as an Executive Summary in presentation format.
