Chemical Industry Use Cases
Margin Management
Track feedstock-to-product spreads to optimize production decisions.
- • Ethylene margins
- • Propylene spreads
- • Production scheduling
Procurement
Optimize feedstock purchasing with real-time market data.
- • Spot vs contract analysis
- • Supplier benchmarking
- • Hedging decisions
Feedstock Selection
Compare naphtha vs ethane economics for cracker optimization.
- • Naphtha-ethane spreads
- • Regional price differences
- • Yield optimization
Integration Example: Feedstock Cost Comparison
// Compare naphtha vs ethane feedstock economics
const compareFeedstockCosts = async () => {
const [naphtha, ethane, natGas] = await Promise.all([
fetch('https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/naphtha', {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Token YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(r => r.json()),
fetch('https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/ethane', {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Token YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(r => r.json()),
fetch('https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/natural-gas', {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Token YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(r => r.json())
]);
// Ethylene yield: ~30% from naphtha, ~80% from ethane
const naphthaEthyleneCost = (naphtha.price / 0.30).toFixed(2);
const ethaneEthyleneCost = (ethane.price / 0.80).toFixed(2);
return {
naphthaPrice: naphtha.price,
ethanePrice: ethane.price,
naphthaEthyleneCost,
ethaneEthyleneCost,
recommendation: naphthaEthyleneCost < ethaneEthyleneCost ? 'Naphtha' : 'Ethane',
savings: Math.abs(naphthaEthyleneCost - ethaneEthyleneCost).toFixed(2)
};
