Polylactic Acid Production Cost | Q4 2024
Updated Reports Examining Polylactic Acid Manufacturing Costs
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Polylactic Acid production costs. Each Intratec Commodity Production Cost report listed below is a comprehensive study of a specific Polylactic Acid production process and related Polylactic Acid production costs, covering three key aspects:
- A complete description of the Polylactic Acid production process examined
- An in-depth analysis of the related Polylactic Acid plant capital cost (Capex)
- An evaluation of the respective Polylactic Acid plant operating costs (Opex)
All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2024).
Polylactic Acid Production from Lactic Acid
This report presents the economics of Polylactic Acid (PLA) production from lactic acid using a melt process similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks. In this process, lactic acid is first oligomerized and then depolymerized into lactide, a cyclic dimer of lactic acid, which is then polymerized to yield PLA by ring opening polymerization. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the USA.
Details: 140 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2024 | 107 pages | Issue A From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in this report target a 140 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.
Polylactic Acid Production from Raw Sugar
This study approaches the economics of Polylactic Acid production from raw sugar in Germany. Initially, raw sugar is hydrolyzed into invert sugars. The invert sugars are then fermented to produce lactic acid, in a process similar to Cargill process. The lactic acid is oligomerized and then depolymerized into lactide, which is finally polymerized to yield PLA by ring opening polymerization, similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks.
Details: 140 kta Germany-based plant | Q4 2024 | 107 pages | Issue B From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in this report target a 140 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.
Polylactic Acid Production from Glucose
This study approaches the economics of Polylactic Acid production from glucose syrup in the United States. First, lactic acid is produced from glucose syrup using a fermentation process similar to Cargill process. Then, lactic acid is polymerized into poly(lactic acid) using a melt-phase polymerization process similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2024 | 107 pages | Issue C From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in this report target a 50 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.
Polylactic Acid Production from Corn
This study approaches the economics of Polylactic Acid production from corn in the United States. Initially, shelled corn is passed through a wet milling process to form corn starch, which is hydrolyzed to dextrose. Then, dextrose is fermented into lactic acid in a process similar to Cargill process. Finally, lactic acid is polymerized using a melt-phase polymerization process similar to the one proposed by NatureWorks.
Details: 140 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2024 | 107 pages | Issue D From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in this report target a 140 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.
Polylactic Acid Production from Lactide
This report approaches the economics of producing Polylactic Acid (PLA) from lactide in a plant located in the United States. In the process examined, lactide, a cyclic dimer of lactic acid, undergoes a ring opening polymerization in the presence of a stannous octoate catalyst to be converted into Polylactic Acid.
Details: 80 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2024 | 107 pages | Issue E 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.
