Bio-Methionine Production from Glucose - Cost Analysis - Methionine E31A

This report presents a cost analysis of L-Methionine production from glucose syrup using a direct fermentation process. The process examined is similar to the one developed by Metabolic Explorer. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material. Besides L-Methionine Powder, an aqueous Methionine solution is also produced in the process. 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.
