This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents alternatives for producing Succinic Acid from different feedstocks and a cost comparison of these alternatives, across different countries. More specifically, the report compares the costs of Succinic Acid production through the following pathways: * Pathway 1: Succinic Acid Production from Maleic Anhydride * Pathway 2: Bio-Succinic Acid Production from Crude Glycerol via Fermentation * Pathway 3: Bio-Succinic Acid Production from Raw Sugar via Fermentation In Pathway 1, Succininc Acid is produced via maleic anhydride hydrogenation. Pathways 2 and 3 are biochemical paths that use renewable feedstocks in the production of Bio-Succinic Acid. The glycerol used in Pathway 2 is obtained as by-product of biodiesel plants. The analysis presented in this report includes: * A comparison of the economic potential of the pathways listed above in several countries, comprising: * Comparative analysis of capital costs * Comparative analysis of production costs * Comparison between product price and raw materials costs of each pathway * An overview of each production pathway, including: * Raw material(s) consumption figures and product(s) generated * Related technology licensors and block flow diagram of representative industrial processes Keywords: Hydrogenation, Hydration, Sucrose, Sugar Inversion, Anaerobic Fermentation, BioAmber, Myriant, Reverdia, Succinity, DSM

This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based Succinic Acid production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) process. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce Succinic Acid. This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a Germany-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses: * Capital Investment, broken down by: - Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency - Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency - Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Production cost, broken down by: - Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities) - Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance) - Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements * Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): WO Patent 2009082050, issued to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in 2009 Keywords: Butanedioic Acid, Dicarboxylic Acid

Download or read book Polylactic Acid Production from Corn Cost Analysis PLA E41A written by Intratec and published by Intratec. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polylactic Acid (PLA) production starting from corn The first section of the examined process is similar to Cargill process for lactic acid production, while the second section is similar to the NatureWorks process for polymerization of lactic acid. In this process, shelled corn is passed through a wet milling process to form corn starch, which, in turn, is hydrolyzed to dextrose, the feed for the fermentation process that generates lactic acid . Lactic Acid recovery from the fermentation broth is carried out via trialkylamine solvent extraction in the presence of carbon dioxide. A L-Lactic Acid solution in water is formed and further polymerized to form Polylactic Acid. The conversion of corn into dextrose forms some residues that are sold as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6472559, issued to Cargill in 2002 (2) US Patent 8674056, issued to NatureWorks in 2014 (3) EP Patent 1247808, issued to Cargill in 2003 Keywords: Corn, Corn Starch, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Trialkyl Amine, Sodium Carbonate, Lactide, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Dow, Biodegradable Polymer

Download or read book Sulfuric Acid from Spent Acid via Double Contact Process Cost Analysis Sulfuric Acid E41A written by Intratec and published by Intratec. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of spent Sulfuric Acid regeneration. The process examined is a conventional process for regenerating spent sulfuric acid from alkylation, comprising spent acid decomposition followed by a typical double-contact double absorption (DC/DA) process. In this process, spent acid is first decomposed in a furnace to sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide-containing gas is cleaned and then fed to typical double-contact double absorption process for producing sulfuric acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Sulfuric Acid and Sulfur Trioxide", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Sulphuric Acid, Sulphur, Oleum, Fuming Sulfuric Acid, Exothermic Reaction, Catalytic Reaction, Double Absorption, Double Contact, Spent Acid, Regeneration
