This report concerns the economics of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) production via hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation. The FDCA generated in this reaction is recovered in liquid form via high temperature distillation. The economic analysis is also based on a plant located in the United States.

The report provides a comprehensive study of FDCA production and related FDCA production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the FDCA production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related FDCA plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective FDCA plant operating costs (Opex).

The FDCA 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 FDCA 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 FDCA plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

FDCA Production Cost Report Process Overview
Product

FDCA. FDCA (a.k.a. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid) is an oxidized furan derivative, first obtained in 1876 from concentrated hydrobromic acid and commonly obtained as a white powder. This organic compound has already been detected in human urine and blood plasma. It can be obtained from renewable sources, such as biomass. Research on FDCA production has been boosted since the US Department of Energy identified it as one of the 12 priority chemicals for establishing a renewable chemical industry in the future. Despite the potential FDCA holds for a transition from fossil-based to a renewable-based industrial chemistry, and the interest of some large companies to obtain plastics derived from FDCA, by 2016, no industrial process for commercial production of FDCA was available.

Raw Material

HMF. HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) is a renewable organic compound derived from the dehydration of sugars, and it serves as an important building block for the production of biofuels, plastics, and chemicals. HMF is recognized for its potential in biomass conversion processes. HMF is produced through the catalytic conversion of fructose or glucose and is stored as a viscous liquid. Its role in the development of sustainable chemical processes and materials is gaining attention in the bioeconomy.

FDCA Production from Raw Sugar

This report presents the costs associated with the construction of a plant producing FDCA from raw sugar (sucrose) in Germany. Initially, sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose and the glucose obtained is enzymatically isomerized into fructose. It is then dehydrated in ionic liquid medium, yielding hydroxymethylfurfural, which is finally oxidized to FDCA. The process examined is based in a non-commercial route.

FDCA Production from Glucose

This report presents the economics of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) production from glucose syrup via a furan process similar to Avantium YXY technology. Initially, glucose is enzymatically isomerized into fructose, which is dehydrated in the presence of methanol, yielding methoxymethylfurfural (MMF). Finally, MMF is oxidized to FDCA. The economic analysis assumes a plant constructed in the United States.
