Methionine Production Cost | Q3 2024

Updated Reports Examining Methionine Manufacturing Costs

Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Methionine production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Methionine production process and related Methionine production costs, covering three key aspects:

  • A complete description of the Methionine production process examined
  • An in-depth analysis of the related Methionine plant capital cost (Capex)
  • An evaluation of the respective Methionine plant operating costs (Opex)

All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q3 2024).

DL-Methionine from Methional and Hydrogen Cyanide

This report provides the economics of DL-Methionine production from methional and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States via a typical carbonate process. Initially, methional is reacted with HCN, ammonia and carbon dioxide to produce 5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)-hydantoin (MMEH), which is hydrolyzed to potassium methioninate (KMET). Finally, the KMET is acidified, liberating methionine.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue A   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Bio-Methionine Production from Raw Sugar

This report presents the economics of L-Methionine production from raw sugar (sucrose) in Germany using a process similar to the technology developed by Metabolic Explorer. In this process, sucrose is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented in an aerobic environment to produce L-Methionine.

Details: 80 kta Germany-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue B   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 80 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) Germany-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Bio-Methionine Production from Glucose

This report presents the economics of L-Methionine production from glucose syrup in the United States using a process similar to the technology developed by Metabolic Explorer. In this process, glucose is fermented in an aerobic environment to produce L-Methionine.

Details: 80 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue C   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 80 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

DL-Methionine Production from Acrolein, Methyl Mercaptan and HCN

This report presents the economics of DL-Methionine production from acrolein, methyl mercaptan, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States. In this process, refined acrolein and methyl mercaptan are reacted to form MMP (also called methional), which is further reacted with HCN to generate DL-Methionine via a typical carbonate process.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue D   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Methionine Hydroxy Analog Production from Methional and HCN

This report presents the economics of Methionine Hydroxy Analog production from methional and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States via a typical process. In this process, methional reacts with HCN to produce hydroxy methylthiobutyronitrile (HMBN) intermediate, which is hydrolyzed to Methionine Hydroxy Analog.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue E   From $799 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Methionine Hydroxy Analog from Acrolein, Methyl Mercaptan and HCN

This study presents the economics of Methionine Hydroxy Analog production from acrolein, methyl mercaptan, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the United States. In this process, acrolein and methyl mercaptan are reacted to form methional. The methional reacts with HCN to produce hydroxy methylthiobutyronitrile (HMBN) intermediate, which is hydrolyzed to Methionine Hydroxy Analog.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue F   From $1,199 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

DL-Methionine from Propylene, Methyl Mercaptan and HCN

This study presents the economics of an integrated process for DL-Methionine production starting from propylene in the USA. Initially, propylene is oxidized to acrolein, which is then reacted with methyl mercaptan to generate methional. Finally, methional is reacted with hydrogen cyanide (HCN) to form methionine via a typical carbonate process.

Details: 150 kta United States-based plant   |   Q3 2024   |   107 pages   |   Issue G   From $1,499 USD

The cost analyses presented in this report target a 150 kta (kilo metric ton per annum per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
