Polyhydroxybutyrate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Polyhydroxybutyrate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Polyhydroxybutyrate (a.k.a. PHB) is a biodegradable polymer synthesized by microorganisms. It belongs to the polyhydroxyalcanoate (PHA) group of polyesters and presents several similarities to conventional plastics.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Polyhydroxybutyrate 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).
Polyhydroxybutyrate Production from Switchgrass
This report presents the Economic analysis of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from switchgrass. In this process, switchgrass is gasified to synthesis gas (syngas), which is fermented to PHB. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
Details: 10 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHB E11A target a 10 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.
Polyhydroxybutyrate Production from Sugarcane Bagasse
This report presents an economic analysis of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from sugarcane bagasse. In this process, sugarcane bagasse is gasified to synthesis gas (syngas), which is fermented to PHB. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in Brazil.
Details: 10 kta Brazil-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHB E21F target a 10 kta (kilometric tons per annum) Brazil-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Polyhydroxybutyrate Production from Natural Gas
This study approaches the economics of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from natural gas in the United States. In the process examined, methane contained in the natural gas feedstock is fermented to Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate by a mixed methanotrophic culture of bacteria.
Details: 100 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PHB E31A target a 100 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.
