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.

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

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

Isoprene Production Cost Report Process Overview
Product

Isoprene. Isoprene is a volatile liquid hydrocarbon used in the production of synthetic rubber, especially for tires and other automotive components. It provides elasticity and durability to rubber materials. Isoprene is produced through the thermal cracking of petroleum or as a byproduct of naphtha refining. It is stored as a liquid and remains essential to industries requiring high-performance synthetic rubber.

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.

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.
