Bio-Isobutanol Production from Raw Sugar
Isobutanol Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report provides the economics of bio-based Isobutanol production from raw sugar in Germany using a typical fermentation process. Initially, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into invert sugars, which are then fermented to produce Isobutanol.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Isobutanol production and related Isobutanol production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Isobutanol production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Isobutanol plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Isobutanol plant operating costs (Opex).
The Isobutanol 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 Isobutanol 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 Isobutanol 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
Isobutanol. Isobutanol (a.k.a. 2-Methylpropan-1-ol, i-BuOH, Bio-Isobutanol) is a colorless, flammable alcohol with a characteristic smell and fields of application closely resembling those of 1-butanol. Isobutanol may also be produced from renewable sources and, in such cases, it may be referred to as Bio-Isobutanol or Green Isobutanol.
Raw Material
Raw Sugar. Raw sugar is a commodity product which is light brown in color and presents from 96 to 99 wt% of sucrose. Since it is not an edible product, it must undergo a refining process to become a refined sugar (more than 99.9 wt% sucrose), a product suitable to food applications. This may be accomplished in the same sugar factory where raw sugar was produced or in stand-alone refineries. It is commercialized as a granular product, and can be produced either from sugarcane or sugarbeet, depending on climate conditions. Sugarcane is cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas, while sugarbeet is more suitable to temperate zones.

Bio-Isobutanol Production from Corn Stover
This study presents a techno-economic analysis of cellulosic Isobutanol production from corn stover in the United States using a biochemical process. Initially, corn stover is treated with dilute acid and undergoes ammonia conditioning. Then, the cellulose is enzimatically hydrolyzed to glucose and xylose, which are then fermented to produce Isobutanol.

L-Lysine-HCl Production from Raw Sugar
This report presents the economics of Lysine production from raw sugar (sucrose). Sucrose is initially hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugar). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce L-Lysine, which is recovered as L-Lysine-HCl. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant located in Germany.

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.
