Succinic Acid Production Costs - Q2 2023
Succinic Acid Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Succinic Acid (a.k.a. SA, Butanedioic Acid) is an important chemical, traditionally derived from petroleum feedstocks. It is used in several areas - from high-value niche applications, such as food and pharmaceuticals, to large-volume applications, such as plasticizers, resins and coatings. However, the current market for Succinic Acid is limited to specialized areas because of its costly production process.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Succinic Acid 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).
Bio-Succinic Acid from Raw Sugar (Electrodialysis Process)
This study presents the economics of bio-based Succinic Acid production from raw sugar in Germany, using a fermentation process similar to Michigan Biotechnology Institute (MBI) process. Initially, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into invert sugars. The invert sugars are then fermented to produce Succinic Acid, which is recovered from the fermentation broth by electrodialysis.
