Diesel from Algae (Hexane Extraction)
Cost of Production Report | Diesel E51A
Details: 140 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2024 | 107 pages | See Versions From $1,199 USD |
This report presents a cost analysis of a 140 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. You can add a customized cost analysis, assuming another plant capacity and/or location (country), when ordering an advanced version of this report.
This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Renewable Diesel production from algae. The process examined is similar to the one studied by National Research Energy Laboratory (NREL). In this process, algal biomass is treated and its components are hydrolyzed liberating sugars, which are fermented to ethanol. Ethanol is distilled and obtained as by-product. Lipids are extracted from the distillation stillage and converted to Diesel product.
This report, Diesel E51A, is a best-in-class examination of Diesel production, providing an in-depth, comprehensive techno-economic analysis of the production technology examined, including:
- Process Description: raw materials and utilities consumption, products generation, labor requirements, list of equipment, characterization of site infrastructure, process flow diagram (PFD).
- Capital Cost Analysis: costs of plant construction, working capital, owners' costs, commissioning, start-up and contingency.
- Operating Cost Analysis: variable costs, fixed costs (salary, benefits & maintenance) and corporate overhead costs.
- And much more . . .
