This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to the one proposed by Genomatica. Raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce BDO. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 20130109069, issued to Genomatica in 2013 (2) US Patent 8597918, issued to Genomatica in 2013 Keywords: BDO, Glucose Fermentation, Aerobic Fermentation
