FDCA Production Costs - Q2 2023
FDCA Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
FDCA (a.k.a. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid) is an oxidized furan derivative, first obtained in 1876 from concentrated hydrobromic acid and commonly obtained as a white powder. This organic compound has already been detected in human urine and blood plasma. It can be obtained from renewable sources, such as biomass.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining FDCA 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).
FDCA Production from Glucose
This report presents the economics of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) production from glucose syrup via a furan process similar to Avantium YXY technology. Initially, glucose is enzymatically isomerized into fructose, which is dehydrated in the presence of methanol, yielding methoxymethylfurfural (MMF). Finally, MMF is oxidized to FDCA. The economic analysis assumes a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 270 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report FDCA E11A target a 270 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.
FDCA Production from Raw Sugar
This report presents the costs associated with the construction of a plant producing FDCA from raw sugar (sucrose) in Germany. Initially, sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose and the glucose obtained is enzymatically isomerized into fructose. It is then dehydrated in ionic liquid medium, yielding hydroxymethylfurfural, which is finally oxidized to FDCA. The process examined is based in a non-commercial route.
Details: 90 kta Germany-based plant | Q2 2023 | 109 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report FDCA E21B target a 90 kta (kilometric tons 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.
Solid FDCA Production from HMF
This analysis presents a process, in which hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is oxidized to generate 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA). FDCA is recovered from the reaction product in solid form. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 270 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report FDCA E31A target a 270 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.
Liquid FDCA Production from HMF
This report concerns the economics of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) production via hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation. The FDCA generated in this reaction is recovered in liquid form via high temperature distillation. The economic analysis is also based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 270 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report FDCA E32A target a 270 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.
