Polybutylene Succinate
Polybutylene Succinate Production from Raw Sugar and Butanediol
(1) US Patent 8778656, issued to Myriant in 2014 (2) US Patent 20150065678, issued to Uhde Inventa-Fischer Gmbh in 2015 (3) US Patent 8604156, issued to Hitachi in 2013

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Polybutylene Succinate (PBS) production from raw sugar and butanediol. The process examined is a combination of a process similar to Myriant process (for producing bio-succinic acid) with one similar to Uhde Inventa-Fischer process. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce Succinic Acid. This step generates ammonium sulfate as by-product. The succinic acid is then combined with butanediol to generate the Polybutylne Succinate.

What are the differences among the basic, extended and advanced versions of Intratec reports?

Each Intratec report targets a specific production process, and is available in three different versions: basic, extended and advanced.

The basic version describes the industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs.

For those needing more in-depth, comprehensive analyses, Intratec offers the extended and the advanced versions.

The extended version includes everything of the basic version plus an extra appendix, in which it is presented the following analyses: Economics of Different Capacities; Utilities Consumption Breakdown; Construction Implementation Schedule.

Finally, the advanced version includes everything of the extended version plus another extra appendix, in which it is presented: Process Unit Cost Breakdown per Equipment; Infrastructure Cost Breakdown per Equipment; Plant Construction Cost Breakdown per Discipline; Process Flow Diagrams.

Can I purchase just a chapter or an appendix of a report?

Please keep in mind that significant portions of our reports are intended to fully explain concepts/assumptions utilized throughout the study; thus the content of all chapters/appendixes often reference one another.

That being the case, Intratec only sells reports in the three aforementioned versions, basic, advanced and extended. We do not sell report excerpts.

If I purchase a basic version of a report, can I upgrade it to another version later?

Yes, you can! To upgrade your report, please follow the steps below:

  1. Login at www.intratec.us with your email and password
  2. Once logged on, click on "Go to User Area" on the top menu
  3. In the User Area, on the menu option “Your Products”, click on “Production Cost Reports”
  4. Select the report you want to upgrade in the drop-down "Select a Report of Interest"
  5. Scroll down to the section "Upgrade your Report", and click on "UPGRADE YOUR REPORT" for an Advanced Version.

Finally, please keep in mind that fee charged for upgrading a report is greater than the difference among report's versions prices.

Do you sell reports without being updated? Can I purchase out-of-date reports from the reports store?

Intratec's policy is to always provide its customers with relevant and up-to-date Production Cost Reports, which serve as timely and well-founded cost analyses. Therefore, once a customer orders a report, the Intratec team reviews and refreshes market figures and techno-economic parameters presented in that report before delivering it. This way we ensure that our customers will always have up-to-date reports, reviewed in light of relevant references that eventually popped up since the report was first developed.

In this context, kindly note that Intratec does not sell out-of-date reports.

If I order a report, will I be able to obtain answers to questions I may have about it?

Customers interested in having questions answered must order advanced versions of reports, which includes Technical Support via email. The support provided refers exclusively to the content of the report purchased. Responses are provided in 3 business days.

How are Intratec reports delivered?

Intratec reports can be delivered in three formats: as online PDFs; as downloadable, non-printable PDFs; and as downloadable, printable PDFs. The delivery format is according to the version of the report: Basic Versions are delivered as online PDFs, Extended Versions are delivered as downloadable, non-printable PDFs and Advanced Versions are delivered as downloadable, printable PDFs.

After Intratec team updates a report ordered, it is made available either for online access or for download in a private area at Intratec website. Reports delivered as online viewable reports will be accessible for 365 days after report delivery, in a private area at Intratec website.

I need an economic analysis, like the one presented in the report, but for another plant capacity / location… could you provide me that?

Yes! When you order an Advanced Version of a report, Intratec offers the option of also ordering a custom analysis, which presents capital and operating costs of an industrial plant with the production capacity and/or location of your interest.

For the development of the custom analysis, all costs are recalculated considering local data (e.g. raw materials, steel and energy prices, labor costs) and the plant capacity informed. The analysis has the same structure of the report (chapters include Capital Investment, Operating Costs, and Process Economics Summary). The costs are presented in US dollars (with the assumed exchange rate for local currency).

You can select this option only when you order an off-the-shelf report (advanced version). Kindly note that custom analysis cannot be purchased individually.

Can I share Intratec reports?

The sharing of Intratec Report and its content is according to the version of the report, as follows:

The customer who purchased a Basic Version is allowed to share it exclusively with co-workers from the same institution or corporation, who also work at the same country.

An Extended Version may be shared with co-workers from the same institution or corporation, worldwide.

Finally, an Advanced Version may be shared with up to five third parties, provided that such sharing complies with all the conditions presented at Report Sharing Terms
