Butanediol Production Costs - Q2 2023
Butanediol Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Butanediol (a.k.a. BDO, 1,4-Butanediol, Bio-Butanediol) refers to all four stable butylene glycol isomers. All are colorless liquids. Usually butanediol is referred to the 1,4- Butanediol, which is industrially used as a solvent and an intermediate for some plastics and polymers.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Butanediol production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
