Report Abstract
This report approaches the economics of L-Lysine Sulfate production from glucose syrup. In the process examined, glucose syrup is submitted to fed-batch fermentation to produce L-Lysine. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant located in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Lysine production and related Lysine production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Lysine production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Lysine plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Lysine plant operating costs (Opex).
The Lysine 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 Lysine 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 Lysine 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 Schematic
The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Fermentation; and (2) Product Concentration, Drying and Packaging.
Fermentation. The culture media used in fermentation is prepared by mixing process water, glucose and nutrients. The fermentation is performed in fed-batch mode and under aerobic conditions. At the batch phase, the microorganism seed is fed into the fermenters, which were previously filled with the fermentation batch medium. After glucose exhaustion, the batch phase is finished and the fed-batch phase is started, during which, glucose and nutrients are continuously supplied until the desired L-lysine concentration is achieved. At the end of the fermentation, the broth is sent to a buffer tank to provide a continuous flow in the further process steps.
Product Concentration, Drying and Packaging. The fermentation broth is thickened in a falling film evaporator under reduced pressure to a solids content of about 50 wt. %. Such solids are composed of free L-Lysine (about 55 wt%) along with biomass and other constituents of the fermentation broth. The concentrated broth is then fed to the Spray Granulator, a device in which the broth is sprayed over a fluidized bed and broth droplets undergo a granulation-drying process. The fluidized bed is produced by means of a current of air directed upwards, which keeps the particles in suspension while they are granulated and dried concomitantly. Final dry L-lysine Sulfate is obtained and sent to packaging line before being stored in bags.
