Acrylic Acid (2010 Program)

Cost estimates for crude and glacial products have been developed for the commercial propylene oxidation process and for emerging processes via fermentation of glucose to 3HP, oxidation of (glycerol-derived) acrolein, catalytic conversion of (ethylene oxide derived) ß-propiolactone, and via the historical acetylene based (Reppe) process.

Glycerin Conversion to Propylene Glycol (2008 Program)

The chemistry and technology for converting crude biodiesel-derived glycerin to propylene glycol are assessed. Process technologies developed by Davy, UOP and Senergy are reviewed and the COP economics for this conversion is compared to conventional propylene oxide hydrolysis. Market information for glycerin and propylene glycol is included.
