Butanol Production Cost | Q2 2024

Updated Reports Examining Butanol Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Butanol production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Butanol production process and related Butanol production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the Butanol production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related Butanol plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective Butanol plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2024).

Butanol Production from Ethanol

The report shows an economic analysis of the construction of an industrial plant in the United States for n-Butanol production. In the process reviewed ethanol is dimerized into n-Butanol via the Guerbet reaction. This reaction is composed by dehydrogenation, aldol condensation and hydrogenation.

Details: 80 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 80 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.

Bio-Butanol Production from Corn

This report presents the economics of bio-based Butanol production from corn in the United States. The process under analysis is a conventional Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. Initially, corn undergoes wet milling to separate starch, which is hydrolyzed in two steps. Glucose is fermented to produce butanol, acetone and ethanol.

Details: 90 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 90 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.

Bio-Butanol Production from Raw Sugar

This report examines a conventional Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. This economic analysis assumes a plant located in Germany using raw sugar as feedstock, which is fermented to Butanol, acetone and ethanol by a novel strain of Clostridium. Each product is separated.

Details: 90 kta Germany-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $999 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 90 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) Germany-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Butanol Production from Propylene and Syngas

This report presents an economic analysis of n-Butanol production from propylene and syngas, assuming a plant located in the United States. The process under analysis is similar to the LP OXO technology jointly licensed by JM Davy and Dow, employing Selector 30 catalyst. This process comprises hydroformylation of propylene and n-butyraldehyde hydrogenation.

Details: 120 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 120 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.

Butanol Production from Butyraldehyde

This study analyzes the costs for n-Butanol production from butyraldehyde. In this process, n-butyraldehyde is hydrogenated generating n-Butanol. The economic analysis is based on a plant constructed in the United States.

Details: 160 kta United States-based plant   |   Q2 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 160 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.
