Report Abstract
This assessment examines a technology similar to the process proposed by Mitsubishi Chemical for 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from butadiene (BD) in the United States. In this process, BDO is produced from BD via acetoxylation.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Butanediol production and related Butanediol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Butanediol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Butanediol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Butanediol plant operating costs (Opex).
The Butanediol 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 Butanediol 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 Butanediol 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 Overview
Product
Butanediol. Butanediol is a versatile organic chemical used as an intermediate in the production of a wide range of industrial and consumer products. It plays a crucial role in manufacturing polyurethanes, engineering plastics, and fibers, and is also used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, solvents, and coatings. Butanediol is typically produced through the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride or succinic acid. It is handled and stored as a stable liquid at room temperature, and its demand continues to grow in sectors such as automotive, construction, and electronics.
Raw Material
Butadiene. Butadiene is a commodity mainly produced as a byproduct of ethylene crackers. More specifically, it is extracted from the C4 hydrocarbons stream in naphtha-based crackers. The largest single use of butadiene is in the production of SBR and styrene-butadiene latexes.

Butanediol Production from Propylene Oxide
This report shows a techno-economic analysis related to the construction of a plant in the United States for 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from propylene oxide using a process similar to LyondellBasell. Initially, propylene oxide is isomerized to allyl alcohol. The allyl alcohol then reacts with syngas, generating 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde, which is finally hydrogenated to BDO.

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 100 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Butanediol from Raw Sugar (By-Products: THF & Ammonium Sulfate)
This report concerns the bio-based BDO production in the Germany from raw sugar. In this report, BDO is produced using a two-step process similar to Myriant/JM Davy technology. In this process, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are fermented to produce to succinic acid, that is then hydrogenated to BDO. Ammonium sulfate and tetrahydrofuran (THF) are generated as by-products.
