Succinic Anhydride Production
This report analyses the economics of a Succinic Anhydride production from maleic anhydride via hydrogenation. In this process, maleic anhydride is hydrogenated in the liquid phase, in the presence of a noble metal catalyst. The crude Succinic Anhydride produced is treated for removal of side products formed during the reaction. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
