Economics of 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid from Raw Sugar Report 18212
About This Report This report presents the economics of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Cargill process. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce 3-HP. An up-to-date economic analysis is provided covering one-time costs associated with the construction of a Brazil-based industrial plant and continuing costs associated with its daily operation. Keywords: Dextrose, Anaerobic Fermentation, Salt-Splitting, Acrylic Acid, Tridecylamine Key Reference(s): (1) US Patent 7186856, issued to Cargill in 2007; (2) US Patent 8883464, issued to Opx Biotechnologies in 2014
