Glycerol Production Costs - Q2 2023
Glycerol Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
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.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Glycerol 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).
Technical Grade Glycerol Production
This report presents the economics of a process for Technical Grade Glycerol production from crude glycerol in the United States. This treatment consists of pretreatment and vacuum distillation steps.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Glycerol E11A target a 120 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.

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.
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
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 | Q2 2023 | 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.
Details: 120 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Propylene Glycol E11A target a 120 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.
