Sodium Pyruvate Production from Glucose (Electrodialysis)
Sodium Pyruvate Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report examines the costs related to Sodium Pyruvate production from glucose in the United States. Initially, glucose is fermented to pyruvic acid, which is recovered from the fermentation broth using electrodialysis. The obtained pyruvic acid is contacted with sodium hydroxide, forming Sodium Pyruvate.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Sodium Pyruvate production and related Sodium Pyruvate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Sodium Pyruvate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Sodium Pyruvate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Sodium Pyruvate plant operating costs (Opex).
The Sodium Pyruvate 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 Sodium Pyruvate 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 Sodium Pyruvate 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
Sodium Pyruvate. Sodium Pyruvate is a salt of the conjugate anion form of pyruvic acid, known as pyruvate. This acid is the simplest alpha-keto acid, with a carboxylic and a ketone functional group. Pyruvate is an important chemical compound in biochemistry, being the output of the glucose metabolism, and is then converted into acetyl-coenzime A, the main input of the Krebs cycle. It is commonly used in cell culture media, as a carbon source in addition to glucose. Pyruvic acid is colorless liquid, soluble in water, with a smell similar to acetic acid. It can be inorganically produced by heating a mixture of tartaric acid and potassium hydrogen sulfate, oxidation of propylene glycol by a strong oxidizer, or by the hydrolysis of acetyl cyanide.
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.
