L-Lysine-HCl Production from Glucose - Cost Analysis - Lysine E12A

This report presents a cost analysis of Lysine production from glucose syrup. The process examined is a conventional fermentation process followed by ion-exchange adsorption and crystallization steps for product recovery. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as the carbon source in the fermentation the final product obtained is L-Lysine Monohydrochloride (or L-Lysine-HCl). This in-depth, independent study provides readers with key and hard-to-find information regarding a production process technology and its economics, such as a description of the manufacturing process and industrial site installations, plant construction cost breakdown, production cost breakdown, and raw materials consumption figures. It was developed according to a consistent methodology refined by Intratec Solutions over more than 12 years, which involves extensive bibliographic research and data gathering/validation, process simulations and robust cost models.
