DMF Production Costs - Q2 2023
DMF Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
DMF (a.k.a. Dimethylfuran) is a heterocyclic compound, and a renewable chemical with a great potential for application as a fuel and fuel additive. It has a high octane number, ideal boiling point, and an energy content similar to that of gasoline. Compared to ethanol, DMF has lower latent heat of vaporization, a lower oxygen content, and is less miscible with water, which favors the processes of purification and distillation. It is also used as a precursor for furan-based compounds presenting several usages as industrial solvents. Production of DMF is based on the hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is obtained via dehydration of C6 sugars, such as glucose and fructose, in the presence of acid catalysts.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining DMF 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).
Dimethylfuran Production
This report provides a techno-economic analysis of Dimethylfuran (DMF) production from glucose syrup in the United States. In this process, glucose is isomerized to fructose, which is dehydrated forming hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) intermediate. Then, HMF is converted to DMF.
Details: 30 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report DMF E11A target a 30 kta (kilometric tons 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.

Biodiesel from Soybean Oil (Alkaline Catalyst)
This report presents the economics of Biodiesel production from soybean oil in the United States using a typical alkaline catalysis process. In this process, the triglycerides in the oil are reacted with methanol to make methyl esters. Crude glycerol is also generated as by-product.
Details: 220 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Biodiesel E11A target a 220 kta (kilometric tons 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.
Hydroxymethylfurfural Production
This report presents the economics of Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) production from glucose syrup. In the process examined, glucose is enzymatically isomerized into fructose. It is then dehydrated in the presence of n-butanol, yielding HMF. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 65 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 111 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report HMF E11A target a 65 kta (kilometric tons 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.
Invert Sugar Production
This report presents the economics of Invert Sugar Syrup production from raw sugar (sucrose) using a process similar to the European Sugar Holdings S.A.R.L. technology. In the process under analysis, raw sugar is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugar). This inversion reaction occurs in an ion-exchange resin bed. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in Germany
