Bio-Isoprene Production from Raw Sugar (Aerobic Fermentation)
This feasibility study approaches an economic analysis of Bio-Isoprene production from raw sugar in Germany using an aerobic fermentation process. Raw sugar is initially hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars), which are then fermented to Isoprene product.

Isoprene Production from Crude C5s
This study approaches the economics of Isoprene production from a crude C5s stream in the United States using a two-step extractive distillation process similar to BASF N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) process.

Isoprene Production from Isobutylene
This report presents the economics of Isoprene production from isobutylene (contained in a C4 cut stream) and formaldehyde in the United States via a typical two-step carbonylation process. Initially, isobutylene is reacted with formaldehyde forming 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-metadioxane (4-4 DMD). This intermediate is then cracked, producing Isoprene.

Isoprene Production from Acetylene and Acetone
This study concerns the economics of Isoprene production from acetylene and acetone in the United States using a process similar to a Snamprogetti Acetylene-based process. Initially, acetylene and acetone undergo an addition reaction forming methylbutynol. This chemical is then subjected to a selective hydrogenation forming methylbutenol, which is finally dehydrated yielding Isoprene and water.

Bio-Isoprene Production from Glucose (Anaerobic Fermentation)
This report provides a techno-economic study of a fermentation process for Isoprene production from glucose in the United States. In the process examined in this report, glucose syrup undergoes anaerobic fermentation for isoprene production.

Bio-Isoprene Production from Raw Sugar (Anaerobic Fermentation)
This report provides a techno-economic study of a fermentation process for Isoprene production from raw sugar in the Germany. In the process examined in this report, raw sugar is initially hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars), which are then anaerobically fermented to Isoprene product.

Isoprene Production from Propylene
This report provides a techno-economic study of Isoprene production from propylene in the United States. Basically, this process comprises three main steps: propylene dimerization to 2-methyl-1-pentene; 2-methyl-1-pentene isomerization to 2-methyl-2-pentene; and cracking of 2-methyl-2-pentene to produce Isoprene.
