Report Abstract
This report assesses the economics of production of bio-based Adipic Acid. The process examined in this report is a fermentation process similar to BioAmber process, in which glucose is fermented to adipic acid. The process under analysis assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Adipic Acid production and related Adipic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Adipic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Adipic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Adipic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Adipic Acid production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Adipic Acid plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Adipic Acid plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Schematic
The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Fermentation; and (2) Purification.
Fermentation. The culture media used in the pre-fermentation and in the fed-batch fermentation are prepared by diluting the glucose syrup and nutrients in water. The applied recombinant microorganism is propagated in an aerobic pre-fermentation step to obtain the proper inoculum concentration. When there is a sufficient mass of bacteria colony, the microorganism inoculum from the pre-fermentation step is fed into the fermentors. Fed-batch medium is continuously supplied to the fermentors, and the main fermentation is carried out under anaerobic process conditions. The pH control is made by addition of a solution of ammonia (NH3), so as to keep the pH of the fermentation broth around 7. Due to the presence of the ammonium hydroxide, most of the Adipic Acid produced is neutralized, in such a way that the broth contains Adipic Acid mainly in its conjugate base forms.
Purification. After fermentation, biomass is separated from the broth. The clarified broth then is submitted to an ultrafiltration step, used to remove the remaining contaminants. The resulting Adipic Acid solution then passes through a salt split and two successive crystallization steps for concentration and purification. The final product obtained is 99.9 wt% Adipic Acid.

Adipic Acid Production from Benzene and Propylene
This feasibility study assesses the production of Adipic Acid from benzene and propylene in the United States. In the process depicted, phenol is initially produced from benzene and propylene by means of alkylation, oxidation and cleavage. Then, phenol is hydrogenated to produce KA oil, which is then oxidized with nitric acid to produce Adipic Acid.
