Industrial Process Economics Reports About 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid (3-HP) 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid (3-HP) is an important feedstock for the biochemical industry. It is an isomer of lactic acid and can be used in the production of acrylic acid and biodegradable polymers. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific 3-HP production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General
