HMF and DMF production processes are divided into four and six processing areas respectively that include synthesis and purification sections.<\/p>\n<p>The HMF process employs a biphasic (aqueous\u2013organic phases) continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), and the DMF process has an additional 3-train fixed bed catalytic plug flow tubular reactor (PFTR). The processing capacities are 300metric ton\/day of fructose and the plants will operate for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Installed equipment costs are estimated (US$2007) as $102.4 million for the HMF and $121.9 million for the DMF process, respectively. The DMF process uses a copper\u2013ruthenium\u2013carbon (Cu\u2013Ru\/C) catalyst.<\/p>\n<p>Catalyst cost is estimated as $36.4 million for the first charge with replacement cost of $258,500\/2-years. Cost analysis is performed following the discounted cash flow method. The minimum selling prices for HMF and DMF are estimated as $1.33\/l ($5.03\/gal) and $2.02\/l ($7.63\/gal), respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the relative importance of key assumptions on minimum HMF and DMF selling prices. The most significant parameters are feedstock cost, product yields, by-product prices, catalyst cost and total purchased equipment costs. Process and economic uncertainties can be reduced by incorporating better performance (through laboratory and pilot trials) and cost data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Techno-economic studies of processes for production of dimethyl-furan (DMF) and hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF) from fructose are performed based on published laboratory results.
