Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from glucose syrup. The two-step process examined is similar to Myriant/JM Davy process. BDO is produced via succinic acid intermediate produced from glucose fermentation. The process uses a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup as raw material and generates ammonium sulfate and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8778656, issued to Myriant in 2014 (2) US Patent 20140350308, issued to Johnson Matthey Davy Technologies in 2014 Keywords: Dextrose, Esterification, Methanol, Hydrogenation, Butanedioic Acid
