Report Abstract
This study concerns Isosorbide production from sorbitol in the United States. The process reviewed in the analysis is a typical dehydration process. Sorbitol is submitted to cyclic dehydration, yielding isosorbide.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Isosorbide production and related Isosorbide production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Isosorbide production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Isosorbide plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Isosorbide plant operating costs (Opex).
The Isosorbide 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 Isosorbide 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 Isosorbide plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Isosorbide. Isosorbide is an organic compound, in the aliphatic diol class. Its structure is composed of a hydroxyl group attached to each of two cis-oriented saturated furan rings. It appears as highly hygroscopic white flake solid, soluble in water, alcohols and ketones. Isosorbide is manufactured from bio-based raw materials, which release glucose molecules to be hydrogenated to sorbitol. This sorbitol is in turn dehydrated to sorbitan, which is then further dehydrated to Isosorbide. Biodegradable and thermally stable, this chemical has been considered as a potential feedstock for the biochemical industry.
Raw Material
Sorbitol. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in food and pharmaceuticals, and as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care products. It is valued for its non-cariogenic properties and mild sweetness. Sorbitol is produced by the hydrogenation of glucose and is typically stored as a liquid or crystalline solid. Its use in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics continues to expand due to its health and functional benefits.
