Report Abstract
This report presents the economics of Glucose Syrup production from shelled corn. In this process, shelled corn is passed through a wet milling process to recover the corn starch, which, in turn, passes through two subsequent hydrolysis steps for the generation of glucose. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Glucose production and related Glucose production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Glucose production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Glucose plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Glucose plant operating costs (Opex).
The Glucose 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 Glucose 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 Glucose 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
Glucose Syrup. Glucose (C6H12O6), also known as D-glucose and dextrose, is the most abundant sugar in nature. Commercial glucose products are available in both dry and syrup forms in a variety of purities and concentrations. Glucose uses include pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals and fuels. This compound is used as raw material in fermentative processes for the production of vitamins, organic acids, antibiotics, amino acids, enzymes, and polysaccharides.
Raw Material
Corn. Corn is available at relatively low and steady prices, it has high starch content, is easily stored, transported and handled. Such characteristics led naturally to the development of several processes to recover its starch and to process it into several industrial products. Most industrial processes make use of the shelled corn, which has been stripped from the cob during harvesting. The shelled corn is converted to other products through milling and refining. Corn milling processes can be divided in two main groups, wet milling and dry milling. In the wet milling, the corn kernel is milled in such a way that its components can be separated in an aqueous medium. In the dry milling the components of the kernel are separated using screening and air classification, but the fractionation is less efficient. Wet milling is generally used to produce high quality corn starch at high yields along with its by-products used in the animal feed (corn gluten meal and corn gluten feed) and food (corn oil) industries. Dry milling is widely used in the production of fuel Ethanol by fermentation of raw corn starch, other uses include the brewing and cereals industries.
