Isosorbide Production Costs - Q2 2023
Isosorbide Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Isosorbide is an organic compound, in the aliphatic diol class. Its structure is composed of a hydroxyl group attached to each of two cis-oriented saturated furan rings. It appears as highly hygroscopic white flake solid, soluble in water, alcohols and ketones. Isosorbide is manufactured from bio-based raw materials, which release glucose molecules to be hydrogenated to sorbitol. This sorbitol is in turn dehydrated to sorbitan, which is then further dehydrated to Isosorbide. Biodegradable and thermally stable, this chemical has been considered as a potential feedstock for the biochemical industry.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Isosorbide 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).
Isosorbide Production from Glucose
This report presents the economics of Isosorbide production from glucose syrup. The process examined is similar to Roquette Freres process. The economic analysis provided is based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 90 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isosorbide E11A target a 90 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.
Isosorbide Production from Sorbitol
This study concerns Isosorbide production from sorbitol in the United States. The process reviewed in the analysis is a typical dehydration process. Sorbitol is submitted to cyclic dehydration, yielding isosorbide.
Details: 160 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Isosorbide E21A target a 160 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.
