Report Abstract
This study provides a techno-economic analysis of Lactic Acid production from glucose syrup in the United States using a low pH fermentation process. In this process, glucose is directly converted to lactic acid.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Lactic Acid production and related Lactic Acid production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Lactic Acid production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Lactic Acid plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Lactic Acid plant operating costs (Opex).
The Lactic Acid 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 Lactic Acid 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 Lactic Acid 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
Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid is an organic acid used in food preservation, cosmetics, and biodegradable plastics. Its antimicrobial properties and ability to create polymers make it highly valuable in a range of industries. Lactic acid is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates and is stored as a liquid. It is in high demand for its role in sustainable packaging and personal care products.
Raw Material
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.
