270 kta United States-based plant | Q3 2024 | 107 pages |
This report presents a cost analysis of a 270 kta (kilo metric ton per annum) United States-based plant. You can add a customized cost analysis, assuming another location (country), when ordering a premium edition of this report.
Report Abstract
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of FDCA production and related FDCA production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the FDCA production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related FDCA plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective FDCA plant operating costs (Opex).
The FDCA 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 FDCA 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 FDCA 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
FDCA. FDCA (2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid, Solid) is an emerging bio-based chemical used as a renewable alternative to terephthalic acid in the production of biodegradable plastics and resins. It is gaining attention in sustainable packaging solutions. FDCA is produced through the oxidation of renewable sugars like fructose. It is stored as a solid powder and is valued for its potential to reduce the environmental footprint of plastic production.
Raw Material
HMF. HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) is a renewable organic compound derived from the dehydration of sugars, and it serves as an important building block for the production of biofuels, plastics, and chemicals. HMF is recognized for its potential in biomass conversion processes. HMF is produced through the catalytic conversion of fructose or glucose and is stored as a viscous liquid. Its role in the development of sustainable chemical processes and materials is gaining attention in the bioeconomy.

Other FDCA Production Cost Reports
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 | Q3 2024 | 107 pages | Issue A From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in this report target a 270 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.
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.
