Dimethylfuran Production
DMF Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report provides a techno-economic analysis of Dimethylfuran (DMF) production from glucose syrup in the United States. In this process, glucose is isomerized to fructose, which is dehydrated forming hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) intermediate. Then, HMF is converted to DMF.
The report provides a comprehensive study of DMF production and related DMF production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the DMF production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related DMF plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective DMF plant operating costs (Opex).
The DMF production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The DMF plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The DMF plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Product
Dimethylfuran. DMF (a.k.a. Dimethylfuran) is a heterocyclic compound, and a renewable chemical with a great potential for application as a fuel and fuel additive. It has a high octane number, ideal boiling point, and an energy content similar to that of gasoline. Compared to ethanol, DMF has lower latent heat of vaporization, a lower oxygen content, and is less miscible with water, which favors the processes of purification and distillation. It is also used as a precursor for furan-based compounds presenting several usages as industrial solvents. Production of DMF is based on the hydrogenolysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is obtained via dehydration of C6 sugars, such as glucose and fructose, in the presence of acid catalysts.
Raw Material
Glucose Syrup. Glucose (C6H12O6), also known as D-glucose and dextrose, is the most abundant sugar in nature. Commercial glucose products are available in both dry and syrup forms in a variety of purities and concentrations. Glucose uses include pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals and fuels. This compound is used as raw material in fermentative processes for the production of vitamins, organic acids, antibiotics, amino acids, enzymes, and polysaccharides.

Glucose Syrup Production
This report presents the economics of Glucose Syrup production from shelled corn. In this process, shelled corn is passed through a wet milling process to recover the corn starch, which, in turn, passes through two subsequent hydrolysis steps for the generation of glucose. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
