Glycerol
Glycerol
Glycerol is an organic compound, in the alcohol class, more specifically a trihydroxy alcohol. It is a colorless, odorless and viscous liquid, with sweet taste. The three hydroxyl groups are responsible for its miscibility with water, alcohol and most organic solvents, and for its hygroscopic nature. It is highly used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
The uses and applications of Glycerol may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Glycerol are crude (80 wt% minimum purity), hydrolysis crude (88-91 wt% purity), and technical grade (99.5% minimum purity).

Hexane Production

This report presents the economics of Hexane production from crude glycerol in the United States. In this process, crude glycerol is reformed in aqueous phase, generating a range of hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds, including Hexane. Part of these compounds undergoes aldol condensation and hydrodeoxygenation, raising Hexane yield.

The cost analyses presented in the report Hexane E11A target a 300 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.

Isopropyl Alcohol Production from RG Propylene

This report presents the economics of Isopropyl Alcohol production from refinery grade (RG) propylene via a typical indirect propylene hydration process. In this process, RG propylene reacts with sulfuric acid to form isopropyl alcohol sulfates. Those sulfates are then reacted with water to form Isopropanol. The study assumes a plant located in the United States.

Details: 200 kta United States-based plant   |   Q1 2024   |   106 pages From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in the report Isopropanol E11A target a 200 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.

Propylene Glycol Production from Glycerol (Liquid-Phase Process)

This study presents the economics of Propylene Glycol production from glycerol using a liquid-phase process similar to Suppes process in the United States. In this process, glycerol is submitted to hydrogenation, yielding propylene glycol.

Intratec Methodology. Intratec distilled its expertise, gained from more than a decade of supporting companies worldwide in the analysis of commodities markets and process economics, and developed a consistent report development methodology.

The methodology ensures a holistic, coherent, and consistent techno-economic evaluation, guiding the development of a report that allows readers to fully understand a specific process technology for the production of a commodity. In addition to being based on a common methodology, all Intratec reports that approach industrial processes have a common structure, i.e., indexes, tables and charts share similar standards. This ensures that Intratec’s readers know upfront what they will get and, more than that, will be able to compare technologies addressed in different reports.

Our methodology is continuously tested and proven by the many corporations involved with the commodities sector, R&D centers, EPC companies, financial institutions and government agencies that rely on our reports.
